  • IAOD Do Deputado Ho Ion Sang Em 01.02.2021 Gestão De Substâncias
    (Tradução) IAOD do Deputado Ho Ion Sang em 01.02.2021 Gestão de substâncias perigosas A gestão de substâncias perigosas tem sido alvo da atenção do público. Há muito tempo que falta em Macau um grande depósito e uma gestão profissional do armazenamento central de substâncias perigosas. Actualmente, muitas substâncias perigosas são depositadas em diversas zonas, o que significa grandes perigos ocultos, e, além disso, os diplomas que regulamentam esta matéria estão bastante fragmentados, não existindo uma lei única. Perante isto, o Governo realizou, há dias, uma consulta pública sobre o Regime jurídico do controlo de substâncias perigosas, na expectativa de definir um regime geral de fiscalização e prevenção de eventuais acidentes graves durante o fabrico, armazenamento, transporte e utilização de substâncias perigosas, de modo a melhor eliminar os potenciais perigos para a segurança em diversas zonas. O Governo tinha o plano de construir armazéns provisórios em dois terrenos no Cotai, para a gestão concentrada das referidas substâncias, numa mesma área específica fechada para o seu depósito e levantamento. No entanto, tendo em conta a proximidade às zonas habitacionais e vias públicas e os riscos de segurança, muitos residentes manifestaram a sua preocupação e oposição. O Governo acabou por descartar a ideia de armazéns provisórios, e decidiu construir um armazém permanente no local do antigo Centro Desafio Jovem, afastado das zonas residenciais. Mesmo assim, propõe-se ao Governo que aprenda com as lições do passado, no sentido de esclarecer o projecto, os materiais e técnicas de construção, o nível de segurança pretendido, etc. Mais, deve fazer bem a avaliação do impacto ambiental, e divulgar quanto antes os relatórios e dados.

  • China (Includes Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau) 2018 Human Rights Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount authority. CCP members hold almost all top government and security apparatus positions. Ultimate authority rests with the CCP Central Committee’s 25-member Political Bureau (Politburo) and its seven-member Standing Committee. Xi Jinping continued to hold the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Civilian authorities maintained control of security forces. During the year the government significantly intensified its campaign of mass detention of members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang). Authorities were reported to have arbitrarily detained 800,000 to possibly more than two million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslims in internment camps designed to erase religious and ethnic identities. Government officials claimed the camps were needed to combat terrorism, separatism, and extremism. International media, human rights organizations, and former detainees reported security officials in the camps abused, tortured, and killed some detainees. Human rights issues included arbitrary or unlawful killings by the government; forced disappearances by the government; torture by the government; arbitrary detention by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison and detention conditions; political prisoners;

  • VI. Developments in Hong Kong and Macau
    1 VI. Developments in Hong Kong and Macau Hong Kong During the Commission’s 2015 reporting year, massive pro- democracy demonstrations (‘‘Occupy Central’’ or the ‘‘Umbrella Movement’’) took place from September through December 2014, drawing attention to ongoing tensions over Hong Kong’s debate on electoral reform and Hong Kong’s autonomy from the Chinese cen- tral government under the ‘‘one country, two systems’’ approach. The Commission observed developments raising concerns that the Chinese and Hong Kong governments may have infringed on the rights of the people of Hong Kong, including in the areas of polit- ical participation and democratic reform, press freedom, and free- dom of assembly. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE AND AUTONOMY Hong Kong’s Basic Law guarantees freedom of speech, religion, and assembly; promises Hong Kong a ‘‘high degree of autonomy’’; and affirms the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) applies to Hong Kong.1 The Basic Law also states that its ‘‘ultimate aim’’ is the election of Hong Kong’s Chief Execu- tive (CE) ‘‘by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly rep- resentative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures’’ and of the Legislative Council (LegCo) ‘‘by universal suffrage.’’ 2 The CE is currently chosen by a 1,200-member Election Committee,3 largely consisting of members elected in functional constituencies made up of professionals, corporations, religious and social organizations, and trade and business interest groups.4 Forty LegCo members are elected directly by voters and 30 by functional constituencies.5 The electors of many functional constituencies, however, reportedly have close ties to or are supportive of the Chi- nese government.6 Despite committing in principle to allow Hong Kong voters to elect the CE by universal suffrage in 2017, the Chinese govern- ment’s framework for electoral reform 7 restricts the ability of vot- ers to nominate CE candidates for election.
