CONTROL YUAN, TAIWAN | Control Yuan Holds 2025 Annual Review Meeting

The Control Yuan (CY) convened its 2025 Annual Review Meeting on 2 February 2026, chaired by Acting President Lee Hung-chun. As the final annual review of the Sixth Term of CY Members, Acting President Lee expressed his sincere gratitude to all Members and staff for their years of dedication, urging them to remain steadfast in the exercise of their oversight functions in order to fulfill the institution’s constitutional mandate and meet public expectations.

During the meeting, the Secretary-General, the conveners of each standing committee, the Vice Chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission, and the Auditor General of the National Audit Office each presented reports on the work and performance achievements of their respective units for 2025 and over the course of the full Sixth Term, together with their perspectives on future priorities.

Secretary-General Huang Shih-cho reported that throughout fiscal year 2025 and the entirety of the Sixth Term of CY Members (August 1, 2020–December 31, 2025), the CY consistently refined its legal and institutional framework. These efforts included strengthening enforcement rules under relevant oversight legislation and improving procedures governing the receipt of public complaints, investigations, inspections, corrective measures, censures, and impeachment cases. The work reflects the CY’s responsiveness to public concerns and its supervisory impact on key issues including judicial justice, domestic affairs, ethnic group matters, and social welfare. An overview of the CY’s oversight performance for 2025 is provided in Table 1.

On the international front, the CY hosted the 37th Australasian and Pacific Ombudsman Region (APOR) Conference, participated in international meetings, and signed an addendum to a bilateral cooperation agreement with the Ibero-American Ombudsman Federation (Federación Iberoamericana del Ombudsman, FIO), further enhancing the institution’s international visibility and professional exchanges. In addition, the CY completed structural assessments and restoration works at its national historic site, balancing cultural heritage preservation with public safety requirements. The institution also advanced its cybersecurity and digital governance capacities by establishing remote mobile office systems, improving off-site backup capabilities, and optimizing the accessibility of its official website.

Looking ahead, the CY aims to deepen international ombudsman exchanges, improve transparency under the Sunshine Law (governing integrity and ethics) and strengthen circuit supervision systems, and enhance human rights protection mechanisms. The institution will also work to integrate generative AI applications and specialized talent development into its operations in order to improve overall supervisory efficiency and institutional resilience.
