The Ill-gotten Party Assets Settlement Committee (CIPAS;[1] Chinese: 不當黨產處理委員會; pinyin: Bùdāng Dǎngchǎn Chǔlǐ Wěiyuánhuì) is an independent government agency of Taiwan established in 2016 by the Act on Promoting Transitional Justice. It is responsible for the investigation and recovery of ill-gotten assets of political parties and their affiliated organizations obtained during the martial law period in Taiwan.[2] All parties established before the lifting of martial law, 15 July 1987, are required to report their party assets to the committee. As the dominant party during the martial law period, the Kuomintang (KMT) and its affiliate organizations are the main targets of this investigation. The council is headquartered in Zhongshan District, Taipei.
According to Article 7 of the Act on Promoting Transitional Justice, assets seized by the committee would be managed by the Promoting Transitional Justice Fund, and could be used to promote transitional justice, and to fund elder care and social welfare programs.[3]
