戰後臺灣戒嚴時期，有數以萬計的人民，遭統治當局以叛亂或匪諜 罪嫌加以拘捕、審問和處罰，導致白色恐怖氛圍長期籠罩全臺。在戒嚴 時期，政治犯基本上會被交付軍事審判。而軍事審判的結果則須上呈軍 事長官核覆（核定與覆議）。其流程往往先經過國防部、再到總統府， 最後由總統核覆。其中，蔣介石總統往往扮演最為關鍵的角色。然而， 擁有核覆大權的蔣介石，在許多政治案件的核覆過程中，卻常出現不當 乃至不法的作為，往往對人權造成頗大的侵害。

During the Martial Law Period,there were tens of thousand people in Taiwan being arrested,interrogated,and punished by the ruling authorities with the suspicion of offense of rebellion or Communist agents,resulting in white terror atmosphere’s haunting Taiwan over a long period of time. During the Martial Law Period,basically the political offenders would be brought up for military trial.The results of military trial must be submitted to senior military official for ratification and review.The process was usually via Ministry of National Defense,Office of the President,and finally being ratified and reviewed by the president.In the process,President Chiang Kaishek usually played a most crucial role.However,while possessing great power of ratification and review,inappropriate even illegal situations caused by Chiang Kai-shek often happened in the ratification and review process of many political cases,and usually caused great infringement of human rights.
