TAIWAN | French Professor visiting Control Yuan

Professor Jean-Marie Pontier of the University of Paris 1 visited the Control Yuan on the afternoon of September 24 and spoke about the powers and functions of Le Défenseur des droits (Defender of Rights).

The institution, also an institutional member of IOI, was founded by merging several ombudsman institutions after the constitutional reform in 2008. Citizens whose rights are infringed by the government or public organizations can file complaints to this new Ombudsman institution.

Dr. Louis Chao, Control Yuan member and chairperson of the international affairs committee, hosted the speech. Afterwards, Professor Pontier answered questions and exchanged ideas with the Control Yuan colleagues, such as Control Yuan Member Dr. Li Ful-Dien.

Before leaving the Control Yuan, the professor enjoyed a guided tour of the display room and Complaint Receipt Center.
