Statement on Reports of Immigration Discrimination against Taiwanese in Uganda
.png)
The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) is deeply troubled by the recent actions of Ugandan immigration authorities in forcing Taiwanese travellers to present People’s Republic of China passports as a condition of entry.
This represents a clear act of coerced discrimination, wherein a sovereign third nation appears to have succumbed to pressure to enforce the political demands of the People’s Republic of China. Arbitrarily rejecting valid Taiwanese passports and compelling travellers to claim documentation from a power that does not govern them violates fundamental principles of non-discrimination embedded in international civil aviation standards, including ICAO guidelines.
Targeting private citizens at border control to advance the interests of another state compromises national sovereignty and degrades the integrity of immigration authority. IPAC calls on Uganda and all democratic nations to resist external coercion, uphold the independence of their own borders, and ensure Taiwanese travellers are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.

對中政策跨國議會聯盟就烏干達歧視台灣人入境之聲明
「對中政策跨國議會聯盟」(IPAC)對烏干達移民當局近期強迫台灣旅客出示中華人民共和國護照作為入境條件的行為深感憂慮。
此舉明顯構成強迫性歧視行為,顯示某個主權第三國似乎因屈服於壓力,執行中華人民共和國的政治要求。該國任意拒絕有效的台灣護照,並強迫旅客出示由非其管轄當局所核發的證件,此舉違反了國際民用航空標準(包括國際民航組織(ICAO)指引)的非歧視基本原則。
在邊境管制中針對普通公民以服務他國利益,不僅損害國家主權,更削弱了移民當局的公信力。IPAC 呼籲烏干達及所有民主國家抵制外部脅迫,維護自身邊境的獨立性,並確保台灣旅客能獲得有尊嚴、公平且受尊重的對待。
