ㄧ位台湾退休公仆《致联合国国际人权办公室的控诉文》--（全文中英对照）
 
Regarding: “Human Right of Taiwan Retired Civil Servants”
主题：「台湾广义退休公务员的人权」
 
Dear Mr. xxx (.OHCHR ):
 
    On the day of June xx, 2017, by an overwhelming majority, the congress of Taiwan passed “Organic Act of Public Service Pension”. This action caused a suffering to torture rest lifes of 460 thousands of Taiwan retired civil servants including career military/soldier, government employees, teachers, police and firefighters. Never happened in else countries in the world so far, Taiwan government distinctively violated principles of legality of “Non-retroactivity” based on “Legitimate expectation” as adopted by countries all over the world. A review group under Taiwan Presidential Office, illegally taking the place of Ministry of Civil Service, i.e. the competent authority, handled the whole process of so-called unconstitutional pension reform. The fact that Taiwan retired civil servants will start facing their dilemma of half-cut pension, indicates a deprivation of their foreseen property by Taiwan government.
 
    在2017年6月xx日，台湾国会以压倒性多数通过了「公务员退抚条例」，这种作为对为数46万的台湾广义退休公务员（军公教警消）的余生是ㄧ种剧痛与折磨；世界空前！台湾政府丌自违反世界各国公认的「不溯及既往」的法律原则，此种原则植基于「信赖保护原则」；总统府辖下的年金审议小组非法取代了主管机关的铨叙部，只手遮天进行违宪的退休金改革，使这批台湾广义退休公务员即将面临退休金几近砍半的困境，这种事实显示台湾政府已剥夺了他们预见的财产。
 
   Prior to 1995, all Taiwan retired civil servants were subject to the legal binding of the law “Full Payment of Responsibility”. It has been lasting for 22 years until 2017 that sufficiently intensifies “Legitimate expectation” to protect their pension in future. But right now Taiwan government behaving as an authoritarian leads a renewable  pension reform due to going financial bankruptcy as excused. Almost cut to half as their will as if a bargaining in vegetable market. This event behind conceals a politics struggle that Taiwan government tries to rectify political foes by infringement and persecution of their property, a kind of human right. Actually the ratio of “Total national liabilities” to GDP is 40% in Taiwan much lower than 90％ in UK, 104％ in US and 243％ in Jansen. Such a case of unconstitutional pension reform never happened even when Greece encounters financial difficulties. Moreover, the new  France president Macron emphasized “Pension reform is non-retroactive, since it represents a promise given by the government before.” and also “There will be no change to retired persons. Their pension and spending power won’t be hurt.” As to the United States, from 1920 to 1987, retired civil servants owned their pension payment based on the law of “Civil Service Retirement System” (CSRS).  In 1987, The law was updated to “Federal Employees Retirement System” (FERS) that applied to new employees since then. Employees between 1984 and 1987 might select either CSRS or FERS according to their will.
 
    在1995年以前，所有台湾广义退休公务员都信从政府「全额给付责任」的法律约束，迄今已持续了22年，这足以强化「信赖保护原则」，以保障他们未来的退休给付；但在目前，台湾政府以未来的财政破产为借口，专权引导退休金改革案的更新，退休金如同菜市场ㄧ般可以讨价还价，随意地几近砍半，本案的背后隐藏著政治斗争，台湾政府藉侵犯他们财产，迫害他们人权来整肃异己；事实上，台湾的「国家负债总额」与「国内生产总值」之比为40% ，远低于英国的90％ 、美国的104％ 及日本的243％ 。希腊既使在遭遇财政困难时，也没有出此下策，违宪窜改退休金；更何况，法国新任总统马克龙还强调「退休金改革不溯及既往，因为那代表以前政府给予的承诺」及「退休人员将无所改变，其退休金与消费能力绝不受损」；至于美国于1920 到1987年间，广义退休公务员依「公务员退休系统」(CSRS)的法律，取得退休给付，1987年的新制法律「联邦雇员退休系统」(FERS)则仅适用于当年以后的新进员工，1984-1987年的缓冲时段内，员工可以自由选择旧制或新制。
 
    The 22-year-lasting Taiwan pension system was regarded as a contract between Taiwan government and civil servants that was not allowed to contravene unless Taiwan government deals with “declared bankruptcy”. To deem the pension reform unconstitutional that retroactively stripped of their rights via the introduction of new laws, mass protesters of 250 thousands congregated in front of Presidential Office as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Special participants were wheelchair-bound veterans as shown in Fig. 3 who need medical care and nursing worker. They felt furious after being ignored their appealing. Furthermore facing trespasses of their foreseen property by Taiwan government, they feel helpless and pissed off. We hereby appeal to OHCHR for protecting the "Human Right of Taiwan Retired Civil Servants”.
 
    新旧制切割的退休金体制已遂行了22年，可视为政府与公仆间的「契约」，不容违背，除非台湾政府处理「宣告破产」；由于认为退休金改革违宪而且溯及既往，新法剥夺彼等财产，为数高达25万人的群众聚集在总统府前示威，如图1及图2；需要医疗照顾及看护工的老兵们乘坐轮椅也参与盛况，如图3；他们因为控诉被轻忽而感到愤怒，更因为得面对可预见的财产被台湾政府侵犯而感到无助与脑火，我们在此特向「联合国国际人权办公室」提出控诉，借以保护这群台湾广义退休公务员的人权。
 
Best regards
