HONG KONG'S LOST RIGHT TO SELF- DETERMINATION: A DENIAL OF DuE PROCESS IN THE UNITED NATIONS I. INTRODUCTION The end of the Cold War and the resolution of the Persian Gulf Crisis have enhanced the status of the United Nations from simply a forum for discussion to an international peacekeeping organization capable of coordinated action. In accord with its new role, the 46th United Nations General Assembly in September, 1991, welcomed seven new member states, whose admission would have been unthinkable during the days of the Cold War; namely, the two Koreas, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and the two Pacific Island nations (previously Trusts under the U.N. Charter) of the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.' One hopes that the entrance into the world community of these nations, so long deprived of their right to self- determination by the insecurities and suspicions of the Cold War, represents the end of the dominance of outmoded historical animosities and divisions over the right of a people to determine their own social, economic and political status.

  • Chapter 6 Hong Kong

    Chapter 6 Hong Kong

    CHAPTER 6 HONG KONG Key Findings • The Hong Kong government’s proposal of a bill that would allow for extraditions to mainland China sparked the territory’s worst political crisis since its 1997 handover to the Mainland from the United Kingdom. China’s encroachment on Hong Kong’s auton- omy and its suppression of prodemocracy voices in recent years have fueled opposition, with many protesters now seeing the current demonstrations as Hong Kong’s last stand to preserve its freedoms. Protesters voiced five demands: (1) formal with- drawal of the bill; (2) establishing an independent inquiry into police brutality; (3) removing the designation of the protests as “riots;” (4) releasing all those arrested during the movement; and (5) instituting universal suffrage. • After unprecedented protests against the extradition bill, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam suspended the measure in June 2019, dealing a blow to Beijing which had backed the legislation and crippling her political agenda. Her promise in September to formally withdraw the bill came after months of protests and escalation by the Hong Kong police seeking to quell demonstrations. The Hong Kong police used increasingly aggressive tactics against protesters, resulting in calls for an independent inquiry into police abuses. • Despite millions of demonstrators—spanning ages, religions, and professions—taking to the streets in largely peaceful pro- test, the Lam Administration continues to align itself with Bei- jing and only conceded to one of the five protester demands. In an attempt to conflate the bolder actions of a few with the largely peaceful protests, Chinese officials have compared the movement to “terrorism” and a “color revolution,” and have im- plicitly threatened to deploy its security forces from outside Hong Kong to suppress the demonstrations.

Introduction Hong Kong has entered its last years under British administration, and the dramatic final act is being played out.1 When Hong Kong reverts to Chinese rule, it will do so under the protection of the Basic Law,2 a mini-constitution created pursuant to a Joint Declaration 3 be- tween the United Kingdom and the People's Republic of China (PRC) that delineates the principles under which Hong Kong will be gov- erned. The former and future rulers of the city diverge widely in their political, economic, and social systems, and despite the elaborate detail of the relevant treaties providing for the transfer,4 there have been disagreements during the period of transition.

  • The Role of Governments and Green Building Councils in Cities’ Transformation to Become Sustainable: Case Studies of Hong Kong (East) and Vancouver (West)

    The Role of Governments and Green Building Councils in Cities’ Transformation to Become Sustainable: Case Studies of Hong Kong (East) and Vancouver (West)

    A. Iwan & K. K. Y. Poon, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 13, No. 4 (2018) 556–570 THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENTS AND GREEN BUILDING COUNCILS IN CITIES’ TRANSFORMATION TO BECOME SUSTAINABLE: CASE STUDIES OF HONG KONG (EAST) AND VANCOUVER (WEST) AILIN IWAN & KENNETH K.Y. POON Philia Earth Limited, Hong Kong (SAR). ABSTRACT The transformation of older cities in order to mitigate the climate change phenomenon has been a global trend, covering multiple strategies to enhance better environment for cities to become more viable places to live. Collaboration of multidisciplinary professionals, advancement of technological innova- tion, socio-political participation, public education, and governments’ leadership is needed to enhance the quality of life of urban dwellers. In particular, government policies play critical roles to advance cities’ sustainable goals. However, the role of Green Building Councils (GBCs) is undeniably critical to facilitate such changes. Two advanced sustainable cities Hong Kong (a representative city from Eastern countries) and Vancouver (a representative city from Western countries) were selected as case studies to understand the roles of the local governments and GBCs in leading cities’ transformation to achieve sustainable cities goals. Related official documents such as ‘Energy Saving Plan for Hong Kong’s Built Environment 2015–2025+’, ‘Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2030+’, and ‘Greenest City 2020 Action Plan’ of the City of Vancouver were analyzed to identify the governments’ visions, goals, and strategies in greening their cities. A series of expert interviews were conducted to understand the direc- tion of these institutions in driving the changes in policy and practices which included: (i) Government officials and leaders from GBCs in both cities; (ii) Leaders from World Green Building Councils; and (iii) Director of Environment and Development in United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP).

Y. Lau1,2,† and Qianning Zhang1,2 1Department of Architecture, School of Design & Environment, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117566 2Tongji University Abstract A vertical city with multifunctional land use turns out to be the most viable solution for an urban condition characterized by increasing density due to population expansion, topographical limitation of buildable land, economic development and the pursuit for collective sustainable living, such as in Hong Kong. This paper presents initial research results from a study on the chronological and typological evolution of tall buildings in the city, from the climate-responsive verandah typology to the mixed-use hyper-commercial podium and residential tower typologies that predominate today, to the ultimate formation of a vertical city. Case studies and surveys have focused on the development of this building typology throughout the decades since the 1920s, substantiating a discussion on the subjective and objective factors contributing to a genesis of the vertical city phenomenon in Hong Kong.
