巴黎著名人權和宗教自由律師、學者帕特里夏·杜瓦爾觀察到，當她第一次得知太極門案時，對台灣政府忽視國際批評風險感到驚訝。另一方面，她在法國的經歷告訴她，有時宗教和精神少數派的反對者並沒有考慮到這些風險。杜瓦爾指出，台灣於 2009 年批准並將《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》（ICCPR）和《經濟、社會和文化權利國際公約》（ICESCR）納入其國家法律。這些，正如歐洲人權法院和其他國際司法管轄區所解釋的那樣，包括在稅收和宗教自由決定中，
Patricia Duval, a well-known Paris human rights and religious liberty attorney and scholar, observed that when she first learned of the Tai Ji Men case, she was surprised that the Taiwan government was ignoring the risk of being criticized internationally. On the other hand, her experience in France told her that sometimes opponents of religious and spiritual minorities do not take these risks into account. Duval noted that Taiwan in 2009 ratified and included in its national law the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). These, as they have been interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights and other international jurisdictions, including in tax and religious liberty decisions, should have been applied to the Tai Ji Men case and led to its solution, but they didn’t.
“人權無國界”的聯合創始人兼董事威利·福特（Willy Fautré）表示，台灣是一個民主國家，但沒有一個民主國家是完美的。太極門案讓台灣有機會像照鏡子一樣看到其民主制度的不完善之處。Fautré 說，現在應該立即解決這個問題。
Willy Fautré, co-founder and director of Human Rights Without Frontiers, stated that Taiwan is a democracy, but no democracy is perfect. The Tai Ji Men case offers to Taiwan an opportunity to see, as if in a mirror, what is imperfect in its democratic system. It should now be solved, Fautré said, without delay.
