The business model on the other hand can be constantly adapted in accordance with circumstances. https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=e90e495c-1eff-402c-848a-6cc289bab1e9 她堅信法治是善的力量；人類追求正義和究責，不該輕言絕望。 Expressing her firm belief in law as a force for good, Arbour stated that humans seek justice and accountability, and must not give in to despair. https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=B128EAC3-E9A7-44F9-BCC4-4E067059529B&CatId=9 |
