敬 自由/ 你
「我現在可以帶著阿毛去更遠的地方了。」
過去制定政策多半是政府發起，而隨著時代變遷與民主進展，現在人民可以上網提議政策，達一定聯署附議人數政府必須回應，落實 #參與式民主 精神
.
外交部在今年聯合國推案影片《敬 自由》中拍攝了一位太太牽著狗狗阿毛，一起搭上寵物友善的公車
.
『參與式民主，作為人民與政府溝通的方法，讓人民更有效率地擁有理想的生活。我孫子幫我上網登記投票，任何提議的政策只要有5,000個人附議，政府就一定會做出回應。我現在可以帶著阿毛去更遠的地方了。』

若聯合國的重要任務之一是要讓國家尊重人民的權利
台灣的夥伴價值值得聯合國重視。

To Freedom / You
Over recent years #Taiwan has made strides towards more open and transparent governance, actively encouraging public participation. Ideas from the public created initiatives allowing people to report their tax through their mobile phones, for example, which, in turn, formed the basis of a mask rationing system. As Taiwan is a nation of #AnimalLovers, it is perhaps not surprising that the initiative behind the introduction of #PetFriendly public transport also came from a member of the public.
This was the example that we featured in our recent promotional short for the #UNGA76, “To Freedom,” representing pet lovers everywhere with the words:
“Participatory democracy allows the people and the government to communicate, realizing people’s ideal lifestyles more effectively. My grandson registered me to vote online. A policy proposal only requires 5,000 endorsements for a government response. Now I can take my dog A-Mao further afield!”
If the UN states part of its mission as encouraging countries around the world to respect the rights of their people, Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference.
