	Notes on the Speech by Taipei City Mayor Chen Shui-pien
		In December 1949 the UN officially passed a "Convention for the suppression of the traffic in persons and of the exploitation of the prostitution of others." We were one of the nations of the UN, so we had to comply with this resolution prohibiting trafficking in people and exploiting others through prostitution, and stopped.

		The existence of prostitutes is not a matter of a right to do sex work, and should not receive the protection of the law and the constitution.
