吐瓦魯呼籲 承認台灣人民進入聯合國機構場域的權利
吐瓦魯總理拿塔諾表示聯合國成立的宗旨在於服務及保護全世界人民，所有人民進入此一國際大家庭，都不應受到阻礙，這是所有人民的權利，而非部份人民的特權。
台灣人民無法參訪聯合國及參與會議，台灣媒體和記者也未被允許入場採訪聯合國會議及活動，進入聯合國場域竟是以國籍而非以安全為考量，這是不具正當理由的，聯合國的公民空間和新聞自由正被限縮。
吐瓦魯呼籲，承認台灣人民進入聯合國機構場域的權利，允許台灣護照持有者進入聯合國場域，是台灣和台灣人民有意義參與聯合國體系的重要關鍵。
台灣的夥伴價值，值得聯合國重視。

Thanks to #Tuvalu Prime Minister Kausea Natano for his speech urging the UN to grant Taiwanese people and press access to UN premises during the General Debate of #UNGA76:
"Mr. President, I thank you for the recognition that to build resilience, we must respect the rights of people and that the UN must be revitalized to uphold the rights of all people of the world—people it was established to serve and protect.
On this very note, Tuvalu calls for the recognition of the rights of the people of Taiwan to the UN premises. The UN system was established to serve the public interest of all peoples. Having unhindered access to the family of nations should be a right for all, not a privilege for some.
It is most regrettable to see the ongoing injustice of Taiwanese people being barred from accessing UN premises for visits and meetings simply because the UN fails to recognize Republic of China (Taiwan) passports, which are, in fact, accepted by almost every country in the world. Likewise, Taiwanese media outlets and journalists cannot obtain accreditation to cover UN meetings and events.
It is alarming that civic space in the UN and freedom of the press are being restricted. It is also unjustifiable that a person’s access to UN premises now depends on nationality rather than on safety and security grounds. Granting Taiwanese passport holders access to UN premises is an essential step for the meaningful participation of Taiwan and the Taiwanese people in the UN system."
Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference for the UN.
