The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) is an NGO having General Consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. The ALRC was founded in 1986 by a prominent group of jurists and human rights activists in Asia. It is a body committed to the development of legal self-reliance and empowerment of people. It will place particular emphasis in its work on the areas of cultural, social and economic rights and the right of development. ALRC will work closely with and support regional, national, and local groups involved in this field, taking care, at the same time, to protect the autonomy and independence of such groups.

"Through the establishment of the Foundation we disseminate an important message: Taiwan is determined to contribute to the flourishing of democracy in the Asia-Pacific region as well as to the aspirations of the global democratic community. With the new international connections created, we will learn from the experiences of the world's advanced democracies and improve upon our own efforts; soon, we will also serve as a platform through which Taiwan may share its experiences with other aspiring democracies."
