「呷七碗」連續四年為街友辦尾牙桌物價狂漲 愛心不減
「呷七碗」連續四年為街友辦尾牙桌
物價狂漲 愛心不減
創世、人安、華山基金會第17年「街友暨獨居老人尾牙」將於2月2日假松山菸廠舉辦，大廚重任仍由「呷七碗」愛心企業協助，這是他們第四年為街友辦桌，在原物料不斷漲價的狀況下，「呷七碗」還是端出龍蝦、干貝、佛跳牆、烏骨雞等上等料理，鼓勵街友向上。
每年總有善士問到：「需要讓街友吃五千元那麼好的料理嗎？」事實上，近年街友尾牙桌數增加，今年台北場700桌幾乎追上去年全台710桌，在食材、搭棚、桌椅、飲料乃至於尾牙當日的廚師、大小工人等費用全數漲價，但「呷七碗」卻維持四年前的價格。「呷七碗」董事長李東原表示，唯有節省尾牙支出，才能讓創世、人安、華山將費用花在平日的救助工作上。
「呷七碗」董事長李東原年輕時也是白手起家，從困苦的生活中熬出一片天，他看著街友和社會邊緣人的辦桌數增加，認為這是社會的一個警訊，如果社會大眾普遍落入貧窮狀態，那企業應該適時給予幫助，唯有社會大眾生活好，企業才會有更好的發展。
第17年的「街友暨獨居老人」尾牙宴，大台北場次預計席開700桌，往年參與的朋友以露宿街友和獨居老人為主，近年來則發現「高風險群」（如中低收不符補助者、低收家庭）和「社會邊緣人」（高齡失業、身障、更生人等不易回歸職場之族群）在入口處苦苦懇求參與尾牙會，希望感受社會溫情。
籲請社會同理弱勢處境，和愛心企業「呷七碗」成就溫馨餐會，目前認桌尚差70餘桌，您的一點支持，社會添加溫馨。愛心專線：(02)2836-1600，劃撥帳號：19695227（戶名：人安基金會，請註明「街友尾牙」）。

第一屆全球新興民主論壇圓滿閉幕
第一屆全球新興民主論壇圓滿閉幕
（台北報導）第一屆「全球新興民主論壇」25日於台北正式召開，陳水扁總統、薩爾瓦多前總統佛洛瑞斯(Francisco Guillermo Flores Peréz)、韓國前總統金泳三(Kim Young-sam)、波蘭前總統華勒沙(Lech Wałęsa)、羅馬尼亞前總統康斯坦斯古(Emil Constantinescu)、以及南非前總統戴克拉克(Frederik Willem de Klerk)等共六位現任與卸任國家元首與會。臺灣民主基金會董事長 王金平 先生表示，相信「全球新興民主論壇」必然能將新興民主國家的實際治理經驗，有效分享並充份整合，進而協助尚未民主化國家完成民主轉型。在會議召開之前，六國領袖一同參觀了「台灣民主影像走廊」回顧台灣的民主化歷程。並且主持啟動光牆儀式，為「全球新興民主論壇」揭開序幕。
陳水扁總統開幕致詞時表示，「過去兩年，我們見證泰國爆發軍事政變、緬甸軍政府對僧侶進行殘酷鎮壓、巴基斯坦反對派領袖於競選期間遭受暗殺身亡，而肯亞更由於選舉的糾紛而發生大規模暴動。但另一方面，我們也看到韓國圓滿舉行了總統大選，順利產生新一任的國家領袖，而台灣也剛平和結束一場競爭激烈的國會大選與第二次的全國性公民投票。所以，民主的失敗與鞏固、民主的衰退與深化是有可能同時並存，而民主的發展更不必然是直線的。」與會的南非前總統戴克拉克以及南韓前總統金泳三皆強調民主體制下政黨政治的重要性。南非前總統戴克拉克提到，即使該執政黨佔有多數，國家與執政黨仍必須維持其各自之獨立性與主體性；南韓前總統金泳三提醒我們一位真正民主領袖不會煽動他們人民來達成本身之政治目的。薩爾瓦多前總統佛洛瑞斯提出警告，極權主義已經以一種新的面貌出現在拉丁美洲了，以假借群眾投票的之名重新復活了；同聲發言抵抗極權主義的羅馬尼亞前總統康斯坦斯古則是認為國家力量是由信仰以及道德原則所形成的正面價值，而非僅僅是對領導者的盲目順從。原定參加的保加利亞前總統哲列夫因氣候因素而無法與會，因此以賀電致意大會表達歉意。前總統哲列夫表示他全力支持第一屆「全球新興民主論壇」宣言，並表達共同簽署之意。此外，並邀請羅馬尼亞前總統康斯坦斯古代為宣讀開幕致辭。
於上午有關憲政選擇與政黨政治議題的圓桌論壇中，韓國前總統金泳三說道「在我卸任後的十年間，我們國家的政府錯失了強化民主的重要機會，因為南韓被激情的民眾以及『民主與非民主』之間的對抗所淹沒；情緒化的人民，不僅濫用也誤用了民主」。薩爾瓦多前總統佛洛瑞斯試著告訴我們，從歷史的教訓中，我們了解必須選擇民主政治的原因，因為一旦缺乏了自由，將會導致暴力的產生終致戰爭的爆發。第一階段的論壇討論之後，南非前總統戴克拉克提問道，中國會朝憲政體制發展嗎？還是只持續專注在經濟的改革？華勒沙前總統回應道，現在已經是二十一世紀了，世界上所有的國家都走向自由民主的道路，中國與俄羅斯亦無法遏制這波浪潮。他強調，「全球新興民主論壇」的舉辦將有助於和平地加速這段過程。
第二階段有關政黨政治的討論中，金泳三前總統在主持時提及，當企業能夠在市場中自由競爭，國家經濟就繁榮；同理而諭，當政黨能以政見與路線自由競爭之時，國家亦能蓬勃發展。羅馬尼亞前總統康斯坦斯古表示，民主是由強而有力的政黨以及具有完整結構的意識形態、能夠確保權力與公民社會的轉換並有效控制權力的一個多元的系統。
下午的圓桌論壇上半場，主題「轉型正義」波蘭前總統華勒沙與陳水扁總統主講轉型正義。陳水扁總統談到轉型正義是「今天所有的新興民主國家無一例外必須面對『轉型正義』的難題，這絕對不是藉機進行報復與清算，反而是因為我們對民主、對人權有更多的堅持，努力摸索在堅守民主法治的原則下，實踐對公平正義的追求。」
也許有些民眾認為，「過去的極權獨裁者儘管有著惡劣的人權紀錄，但他們為台灣帶來穩定與繁榮，這就是我們耳熟能詳的所謂『東方式的民主』或『亞洲式的民主』。寧可民主少一點、自由少一點、人權少一點，以換取更多的經濟成長。但歷史證明，這樣的論點往往是所有極權獨裁政權，包括今天的中共政權在內，拒絕民主與戕害人權所慣用的藉口與拖詞」。華勒沙前總統評論，在衝突中獲得勝利的政治人物或政治團體必定是非常高興，然而他們首要任務即是適當地強化相關的司法機制，而非讓政治人物或團體來執行司法。戴克拉克前總統在分享完南非經驗後提及，金錢的補償對於受難者而言是不夠的，最好的補償即是為人民創造機會，帶給國家真正的民主。
南非前總統戴克拉克則對「公民社會」的議題表示，「我國憲法特別要求國會來促進與推動人民參與一切立法的過程，並且公開透明立法程序以確保民眾知的權利」。由前總統康斯坦斯古代為宣讀之哲列夫前總統的建言裡強調公民社會的經濟基礎不僅需要多元財產制，還需要強化中小企業的發展。陳水扁總統對此表示善意回應並建議成立「全球企業夥伴獎」作為全球新興民主論壇第一項具體的合作計劃擬議。「我們初步構想是在台北成立全球企業夥伴獎基金會，透過民間及企業界的捐贈，募集相關運作的經費，每年從新興民主國家遴選對科技、創投及發展有特殊貢獻與潛力的人士10位，每一位頒贈全球企業夥伴獎及美金10萬元，並邀請得獎人來台灣作短期的訪問，直接和台灣的企業來作交流，促成共同合作投資的可能。」此外，陳總統亦發表對中國民主的看法，他認為中國政府在實踐民主上最首要達成的任務即是完成「軍隊國家化」。「軍隊沒辦法國家化，就不構成是民主國家」，因此中國要走向一個真正民主的國度，還有一條非常漫長而遙遠的道路要走。中國的民主化是可以期待的，就像是柏林圍牆的倒塌、蘇聯的瓦解都發生在一夕之間，總統表示，「今天我們所有新興民主國家必須要更加的努力，希望大家的民主經驗跟成功的故事，以及慘痛的教訓，可以給中國共產黨以及中華人民共和國的人民與領導階層，更多借鏡、學習以及發揮民主燈塔效應的機會。」
大會最後，陳總統親自主持工作會議，與會領袖發表對未來工作方向之想法。金泳三前總統則告訴大家，在北韓，人民連最基本的生存權都是喪失的。沒有一種意識形態是被容許侵犯人權與自由，也沒有任何人可以在我們的鄰國遭遇暴政卻置之不理。康斯坦斯古前總統特別提到，道家宇宙和諧的想法、儒家悲天憫人的胸懷與佛家慈悲精神，與西方文明所創造出來民主觀念是並行不悖的。
六國領袖在歷經一天的論壇對話與討論後，全體共同通過並簽署了第一屆「全球新興民主論壇宣言」。綜觀全世界民主化浪潮，出現正負俱呈的現象。第一，宣言提到，就負面發展來說，第三波民主化之後，全球民主化腳步呈現停滯的狀態。世界上仍有部分威權國家拒絕擁抱民主，甚至，人權迫害的情形在這些國家日趨嚴重。同時，部分新興民主國家的民主化進程正處於劇烈動盪之中。
第二，雖然如此，宣言提到，我們仍堅信民主自由是全球人類的共同的利益，透過新興民主國家彼此的合作與共同的行動，不但有助於每一個新興民主國家民主化的深化與鞏固。更可望使全球第四波的民主化早日到來。此外，宣言述及，「基於這樣的認知與目的，我們堅決主張以下三項原則：主權在民、人權至上以及民主和平。」
此外，宣言強調三個反對：「反對以暴力或任何非和平方式來解決任何衝突與爭端；反對以任何理由或形式，對專制獨裁政權提供援助、鼓勵或姑息；反對以任何理由或手段，限制、剝奪甚至侵害個人的基本人權」。最後，宣言提出三大主張：第一，新興民主國家的互助與合作必須從經驗的分享走向一致的行動，加速資源的整合與觀念的創新，對全球民主政治在全球的擴展提供多層次的支援；第二，加強與先進民主國家針對自由、民主、人權與和平等議題的對話與交流；第三，支持一切形式的國際民主合作，包括「民主共同體」、「民主夥伴關係」等提議。
第一屆「全球新興民主論壇」已圓滿和平落幕，主辦單位臺灣民主基金會由衷希望透過「全球新興民主論壇」的努力，能夠幫助全球無論是新興民主國家抑或是尚未民主化之國家及早享受民主甜美的果實。
2008 Global Forum on New Democracies Held in Taipei
Six Current and Former Presidents Discuss Achievements and Challenges
On 25 January 2008 , six current and former heads of state took part in the "Global Forum on New Democracies," in the Taipei Grand Hyatt. In this event, President Chen Shui-bian of Taiwan , Former President Francisco Guillermo Flores Pérez of El Salvador , Former President Kim Young-sam of Korea , Former President Lech Wałęsa of Poland, Former President Frederik Willem de Klerk of South Africa , and Former President Emil Constantinescu of Romania jointly participated in an all-day dialogue discussing the achievements and challenges to new democracies. The overall mission of this forum, in the words of Taiwan Foundation for Democracy Chairman and Speaker of the Legislative Yuan Wang Jin-pyng, is to be" …a platform that will share and bring together real-world experiences of democratic governance in a way that can assist undemocratic countries to fully democratize."
Before the opening ceremony, the six leaders together launched the special exhibition titled "Taiwan Democracy" by simultaneously illuminating the multimedia display wall. The opening ceremony consisted of remarks by each of the eight leaders. President Chen started off by saying, "In the past two years, we have witnessed the military coup in Thailand, the brutal suppression of the "saffron revolution" in by the junta in Burma, the assassination of Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, and the widespread post-election violence in Kenya. At the same time, we have also seen the successful election of a new president in South Korea and the smooth holding of fiercely competitive legislative elections and referendums in Taiwan . Thus, democratic consolidation and setbacks can coexist in the world, and that democratic development is not necessarily linear."
Both President de Klerk and President Kim stressed the responsibilities of a democratic political party. President de Klerk said, "The State must retain an identity separate and independent from the ruling party, regardless of its majority." President Kim had stated, "A true democratic leader does not agitate people to achieve his political goals." President Flores warned us of the new face of totalitarianism as manifested in Latin America , saying, "Dictatorships are being born, but with the novelty that they are sanctified by popular vote." Also speaking against dictatorships, President Constantinescu credited national strength to "the positive values gathered by faith into moral principles," instead of "the blind obedience to a saving leader."
Former President of Bulgaria , Zhelyu Zhelev, had been planning to attend, but was unable to fly due to weather conditions. He sent a telegram expressing his regret, stating, "I would like to inform you of my full support for the declaration you shall vote at the end of the conference and ask you to consider me as its co-signatory." In addition, he asked President Constantinescu to read his opening remarks on his behalf.
In the first roundtable, the leaders shared their views about choosing a constitutional system and party politics. President Kim started this off, saying, "The government that came after my term ten years ago missed important opportunities for enhancing democracy to the next stage by immersing in inciting the public with the outdated 'democracy versus anti-democracy' struggle, and the populace abused and misused democracy with emotions and excitement" President Flores spoke of El Salvador' s success story when a choosing a new constitution and reforming the government from top to bottom. Of all that had made El Salvador's success possible, he credited the people's patriotism as the most important, but claiming, "We chose democracy out of the most brutal historical lesson—the lack of freedom produces violence and eventually leads to war." After the presentations, a free exchange of views took place, towards the end of which President de Klerk asked, to what extent is China moving to constitutionalism, or is it only focused on economic growth? President Wałęsa responded by asserting that, in the 21st century, all countries that which to prosper must adopt the path of freedom and democracy, and that China and Russia will not be able to hold back this trend. He added that the purpose of the GFND and similar events is to make the process faster and more peaceful.
Later in the second roundtable, the leaders discussed party politics. President Kim chairing the session said, "The national economy will prosper when companies compete freely in the market; by the same token, when political parties compete freely with party lines and policies, the whole nation will prosper." President Constantinescu stated, …"the bond of democracy is … a pluralist system represented by powerful parties with well structured ideologies, able to ensure an alternation to power and a civic society able to control the power, whatever it would be."
In the third roundtable during the afternoon, President Chen and President Wałęsa discussed transitional justice. President Chen stated, "Today all new democracies must face the difficult issues of transitional justice, absolutely not in order to exact political revenge or reckoning, but in order to insist more strongly on democracy and human rights. Under the principles of democracy and the rule of law, we all need to make more efforts to realize justice and fairness." He continued, "Many people believe that the past authoritarian regime, despite its poor human rights record, at least brought stability and economic growth to Taiwan . This is the so-called ‘Asian democracy,’ where people supposedly accept a little less democracy, a little less freedom, a little less human rights, in exchange for more economic growth. But history has proved that this theory is just an excuse used by authoritarian dictatorships, including today's Chinese regime, to reject democracy and abuse human rights." President Wałęsa spoke next, saying, "Those politicians and groups that won victory in the conflict should be very happy… and then consolidate structures adequately equipped in dealing with justice. Under no circumstances should these politicians or groups carry out the justice." After describing the experience of South Africa , President de Klerk stated, "Monetary compensation [for victims] cannot be sufficient; the best way of compensation is to make the system work, the creation of opportunities for the people, and bringing real democracy to the country."
Discussing the role of civil society, President de Klerk stated, "Our Constitution specifically requires Parliament to facilitate public involvement in the legislative and other processes of the National Assembly and its committees. It also requires Parliament to conduct its business in an open manner and to ensure that the public has access to all its deliberations." President Zhelev's remarks (read by President Constantinescu) emphasized the economic basis of civil society, that it requires a diversity of property ownership, as well as small and medium-enterprises. President Chen responded by calling for the establishment of a "Global Corporate Partnership Award" as the first concrete action by the GFND to deepen the relations among participating countries: "Our initial idea is to establish a "Global Corporate Partnership Award Foundation" in Taipei, which would raise private and corporate funds in order to fund its operations; annually award US$100,000 prizes to each of 10 businessmen from new democracies who have made special contributions to technology, venture capital, or development the support of new democracies, and then invite the award winners to Taiwan for exchanges with Taiwanese businesses, to promote cooperation and investment opportunities." President Chen also described the situation in China , saying that nationalization of the military is the most pressing issue: "If the military cannot be nationalized, China cannot be considered a democracy." He expressed the hope for democratization in China , using the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union as examples of how great change may take place unexpectedly. He further stated, "Today all of the new democracies must redouble our efforts, in the hope that our collective experiences, both the success stories and the painful lessons, can have a lighthouse effect, giving more learning opportunities the Chinese Communist Party and all the citizens of the People's Republic of China ."
In the final session, each head of state gave his closing remarks. President Kim stated, "In some countries like North Korea, people are forfeited even the basic right to live as human beings," before saying, "No ideology can be allowed to invade basic human rights and freedoms, and no one should turn away from our neighbors suffering under tyranny." President Constantinescu notably said, "The Taoist ideal of universal harmony, the Confucian ideal of the compassionate man, and the Buddhist notion of universal benevolence… [are] compatible with the concept of democracy created by Western European civilization."
The forum ended with each head of state signing the Joint Declaration for the Global Forum on New Democracies. The Declaration described both positive and negative global trends in democratization. First, the Declaration stated, …"[W]e Some authoritarian and totalitarian countries in many parts of the world still refuse to embrace democracy, and human rights violations in some of these countries have become increasingly severe. Meanwhile, democratization in a number of new democracies is in serious turmoil."
Second, the Declaration stated, …"[W]e are convinced that freedom and democracy are in the shared best interests of all mankind. Cooperation and concerted action among new democracies not only contribute to deepening and consolidating democracy but also accelerate the arrival of the fourth wave of democratization." Furthermore, the Declaration stated, …"[W]e resolutely advocate the following three principles: 1) the democratic and sovereign rights of the people…. 2) human rights…. 3) democracy and peace…."
The Declaration also listed three "points of opposition": "Firstly, we oppose the use of violence or other non-peaceful means to solve any conflict or dispute…." "Secondly, we oppose assisting, encouraging or appeasing dictatorships or authoritarian regimes for any reason or in any form…. "Thirdly, we oppose the restriction, deprivation or even infringement of basic human rights for any reason or in any form...."
Finally, the Declaration listed its support of the following three "main positions": "Firstly, mutual help and cooperation between new democracies must move from experience sharing to concerted action that accelerates the pace of integration of resources and creation of new ideas…." "Secondly, we should strengthen dialogue and exchanges with advanced democracies on the issues of freedom, democracy, human rights and peace." "Thirdly, we support all forms of international cooperation on promoting democracy, including initiatives for a 'community of democracies' and 'democratic partnerships'."
The Taiwan Foundation for Democracy will continue to promote global democratic development through this forum and other activities, to strengthen exchanges and solidarity among new democracies, and to encourage those countries which are not yet democratizing.

威達有線電視採用北電乙太網路解決方案 建置全新IPTV網路
提供用戶豐富多元的IPTV與多媒體服務
台北 – 台中威達有線電視宣布採用北電* [NYSE/TSX:NT] 領先業界的乙太網路解決方案，布建其全新IPTV網路，預計可嘉惠逾五十萬名用戶享用前所未有的IPTV與整合性多媒體服務。
威達有線電視是台灣第一批取得固網市話執照的業者，為了讓用戶享有更佳的服務品質，決定採用北電的乙太網路技術，提供數位電視、數位隨選視訊系統 (VOD) 服務、線上遊戲、客製化入口網站、以及各種針對電視而設計的互動式IP多媒體服務。並可同時讓用戶藉由行動電話、市內網路電話、可攜式媒體播放器或筆記型電腦連結上網。
網路的擴充性、回復能力和安全性是威達有線電視考量推出全新IP多媒體服務的關鍵因素，而北電的乙太網路解決方案具備高速與穩定等優勢，可確保威達有線電視在提供新服務的同時，兼顧其績效表現且滿足客戶的可靠度需求。由於威達有線電視同時為WiMAX南區執照擁有者，未來亦將積極規劃IPTV、語音與寬頻上網業務納入WiMAX整合服務。
北電台灣區總經理蔡玉貴指出：「唯有運作順暢而簡易操作的多媒體新服務才能迅速獲得消費者的青睞。為提供更加完備的IPTV服務，威達有線電視需要24小時全年運作無休、且毫無失誤延宕的網路。在配備北電的端對端語音和數據解決方案後，威達有線電視能夠全力提供客戶所期待的服務，而無須浪費過多時間進行網路維護。」
北電乙太網路路由交換器 (Ethernet Routing Switch 8300、8600) 的高效能，可提供進階服務，協助強化、保護、並簡化威達有線電視的網路服務和運作。該解決方案中的IPv6和多重傳播 (multicast) 功能則可為服務供應商提供符合未來考驗的技術，滿足將來新衍生的網路需求，並同時透過單一整合的乙太網路基礎架構提供高密度接埠和軟體功能。
