Description : Note: This video (recorded on 9/15/2007 in NYC) is a truncated version of a longer Taiwanus.net "915 UN for Taiwan" news: http://www.taiwanus.net/news/s political apartheid! Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ) spoke to the 4000+ audience at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza near UN on Sept. 15, 2007. These 4000+ Taiwan expatriates and friends were ready to march in NYC for the support of UN membership for Taiwan.As a sovereign nation that respects human rights, freedom, and peace, Taiwan meets all the requirements of UN membership. But the people of Taiwan have no representation in the United Nations for the past three decades. Our application for UN membership has been repeatedly turned down for unreasonable political reasons.Taiwan's 23 million people desire their nation to become a member of the international community and make greater contributions to world peace and prosperity. The continued isolation of democratic Taiwan does not reflect the reality and conveys the wrong message to the Chinese government: it stands in the way of mutual recognition between China and Taiwan and of peaceful dialogue. Therefore, we call on the UN to return to the spirit of unity, to stand behind the principle that we are all created equal, and to grant membership to the peace-loving state -- Taiwan. Your support of Taiwan is very much appreciated!Note: On Nov. 9, 2007, a group of 19 members of the U.S. House of Representatives jointly put forth a resolution in support of Taiwan's membership in international organizations, including the United Nations. The Congress members, led by Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) , have referred the resolution to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and are pushing for its adoption by the House.
