世界衛生組織終於把世界衛生大會邀請函寄到台灣了,但是,今年的邀請函有些不尋常,多了一條備註,「聯合國大會2758號決議」。細看這個1971年的決議文,字字強調中華人民共和國為中國在聯合國組織中唯一合法代表,且來看看這個讓台灣的國際空間套上緊箍咒的決議文,究竟怎麼寫的⋯⋯。
Recognizing that the representatives of the Government of the People's Republic of China are the only lawful representatives of China to the United Nations and that the People's Republic of China is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, Decides to restore all its rights to the People's Republic of China and to recognize the representatives of its Government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations, and to expel forthwith the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it.
承認中華人民共和國政府的代表是中國在聯合國裡的唯一代表,中華人民共和國也是安全理事會五個常任理事國之一;決定恢復中華人民共和國的所有權利,以及承認其政府代表為中國在聯合國唯一合法代表,並立即將蔣介石在聯合國及其所屬機構內的代表驅逐,因其所有席位皆屬非合法性占用。
殷殷期盼的世界衛生大會邀請函終於送到台灣,卻用一條備註將台灣推入一中原則困境。(圖/Getty)
