Taiwan went through political situation from the authoritarian regime of KMT. In order to consolidate the hard-won Taiwanese democracy, the democratic government should deal with the issues of past human rights violations which happened during the period of KMT authority. With the development of the democratization movement, the 228 Incident, White Terror political cases, and the KMT ill-gotten party assets that had occurred on Taiwan were discussed in public. The DPP legislators in the Legislative Yuan have also revealed that they have also initiated rehabilitation, demanding that the KMT government face up to the fact and history of them, compensate victims and their families, and investigate the truth and responsibility. However, the KMT government did nothing except for compensating victims and their families until DPP won the legislature for the majority of seats in 2016. After the discussion among political parties in Taiwan, the Legislative Yuan enacted " The Act Governing the Settlement of Ill-gotten Properties by Political Parties and Their Affiliate Organizations" and "Act on Promoting Transitional Justice”, which were Taiwanese transitional justice empirical law. It means that the DPP government successfully put Taiwan transitional justice in practice. When these two regulations were enacted, the political situation and wrestling behind them, as well as the political strategies of the various parties in the Legislative Yuan, also affected the understanding and views of Taiwanese society on transitional justice. This article is written by means of analyzing the legislation record of the Legislative Yuan, trying to understand the logic of the political parties, to infer the reasons for the conflicts of transitional justice in Taiwan.
