[Insert Appropriate Greeting]

This coming May, Taiwan will attempt to gain entry into the 
World Health Organisation (WHO). Such admittance is long 
overdue, and we hope you will support Taiwan's efforts
wholeheartedly.

The WHO Constitution enshrines the principle that the 
enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is 
one of the fundamental rights of every human being.  Under 
this principle, the 23 million people of Taiwan, and 400,000 
foreign nationals, including many [British/Irish] citizens 
residing on this island, should have the same rights.  

In the era of increasing globalisation, the exclusion of Taiwan
from the WHO poses a large danger for everyone, including
citizens of [the UK/Ireland].  We cannot afford to leave Taiwan
out of the loop in combating the threats posed by epidemics.
Global responses to infectious diseases need to be coordinated
by all nations, as epidemic spread is not confined to national
boundaries.

For this reason, the European parliament passed resolution
P6_TA(2006)0228 on May 18, 2006 supporting Taiwan's inclusion
in the WHO and greater access to WHO resources.  If the [UK/Irish] 
government is serious about promoting the fundamental rights 
of all people, then it must support the entry of Taiwan to 
the WHO at this year's World Health Assembly.

Our government has long claimed that it promotes democratic 
ideals, fundamental rights and the freedom of all peoples on the 
international stage.  In order to be consistent with these 
noble aims, we must fully support Taiwan's integration into 
the global health community. 


Sincerely,
