Dr. Vivianne Yen-ching Weng, associate professor at the National Chengchi University (NCCU, the Taiwanese « Sciences-po » school), is specialised in international human rights law and humanitarian law. Based on her previous experiences in addressing gender aspects of the right to respect for private and family life, she has later extended her research field to cover different forms of discrimination and ill-treatments, including contemporary forms of slavery. More recently, she tries to go deep into the very nature of the implementation of international human rights norms, by exploring the dialogue between the judges and the production of soft law norms, all to be linked to the Taiwanese reality. This research topic led her to work closer with legal sociologists. She published mainly in Chinese mandarin, but also in English and French.
Dr. Weng has received her Doctor in Law degree in University of Panthéon-Assas, also known as « Paris II » law faculty in France, with Pr. Emmanuel Decaux as her supervisor. Since 2013, she works in the Department of Political Science of the NCCU and teaches constitutional law, international human rights law and European studies there. She is also an associated member of the Centre de Théorie et Analyse du Droit (UMR CNRS 7074, France) and co-supervise a thesis of comparative constitutional law therein with Pr. Éric Millard.
She volunteers as partner with some human rights NGOs in Taiwan on some specific projets. Since 2018, she is also an independent expert sitting in two consultative panels for the Minister of Interior, especially concerning the combat against human trafficking.
