  • Hong Kong's National Security
    FEBRUARY 2021 HONG KONG’S NATIONAL SECURITY LAW: A Human Rights and Rule of Law Analysis by Lydia Wong and Thomas E. Kellogg THE NATIONAL SECURITY LAW constitutes one of the greatest threats to human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover. This report was researched and written by Lydia Wong (alias, [email protected]), research fellow, Georgetown Center for Asian Law; and Thomas E. Kellogg ([email protected]), executive director, Georgetown Center for Asian Law, and adjunct professor of law, Georgetown University Law Center. (Ms. Wong, a scholar from the PRC, decided to use an alias due to political security concerns.) The authors would like to thank three anonymous reviewers for their comments on the draft report. We also thank Prof. James V. Feinerman for both his substantive inputs on the report, and for his longstanding leadership and guidance of the Center for Asian Law. We would also like to thank the Hong Kongers we interviewed for this report, for sharing their insights on the situation in Hong Kong. All photographs by CLOUD, a Hong Kong-based photographer.

  • Report of the 7Th Hong Kong Games Organising Committee
    CSC Paper 06/18 (For information on 24 August 2018) COMMUNITY SPORTS COMMITTEE Report of the 7th Hong Kong Games Organising Committee This paper aims to report to Members on the formation of the 7th Hong Kong Games (HKG) Organising Committee (OC) and the progress of its work. I. Background 2. To further promote the “Sport for All” culture in the community, the Sports Commission has organised HKG biennially since 2007. As a territory-wide major multi-sport event in Hong Kong with the 18 District Councils (DCs) as the participating units, its objectives are to provide districts with more opportunities for sports participation; encourage active public participation in sports; improve sporting standards at the district level and strengthen the public’s sense of belonging to the district they live in through inter-district competitions; as well as foster the communication and friendship between the 18 districts and promote community cohesion. HKG is co-ordinated by the Community Sports Committee (CSC) under the Sports Commission, with the 18 DCs, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, and the relevant National Sports Associations (NSAs) as co-organisers. The 6th HKG was successfully held from 2016 to 2017 and the 7th HKG will be held from 2018 to 2019. 3. For the effective staging of the 7th HKG, the 7th HKGOC was formed in May 2018. At its first meeting held on 18 May 2018, OC endorsed the formation of a Standing Committee (SC) under OC to assist in the planning and implementation of specific arrangements of various work.

  • Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs Composition
    LC Paper No. CB(2)2086/01-02(01) Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs Composition of the Second Term District Councils Purpose This paper sets out the Administration’s proposals relating to the composition of the second term District Councils (DCs). Background 2. According to Schedule 1 to the District Councils Ordinance (Cap.547), there shall be 18 districts, and the area for each district is delineated in a map deposited in the office of the Director of Home Affairs. Schedule 2 provides that a DC should be established in each of the 18 districts. Schedule 3 sets out the composition of the 18 DCs. Schedules 1, 2 and 3 are at Annex A. 3. Pursuant to section 18 of the Electoral Affairs Commission Ordinance (Cap. 541), for the second term DC elections to be held in late 2003, the Electoral Affairs Commission (EAC) has to make recommendations on constituency boundaries to be submitted to the Chief Executive on or before 27 November 2002. Before finalising the recommendations, the EAC will conduct a one-month public consultation in September 2002 to solicit public views on its draft proposals. 4. In making its recommendations on District Council Constituencies (DCCs), section 20 of the Electoral Affairs Commission Ordinance provides that the EAC should – - 2 - (a) have regard to the community identities and the preservation of local ties as well as physical features such as size, shape, accessibility and development of the relevant area; (b) ensure that the population in each constituency is as near the population quota as practicable (the population quota, by definition, means the total population of Hong Kong divided by the total number of elected members to be returned in a particular election); and (c) where it is not practicable to comply with the requirement at (b), ensure that the extent of each constituency is such that the population in that constituency does not exceed or fall short of the population quota by more than 25%.

    Consultation Paper on the District Council Appointment System February 2012 Content Chapter One Introduction 1 Chapter Two Overview of District Administration 3 Composition of the District Councils 3 Functions of the District Councils 4 District Council Appointment System 5 Chapter Three Proposal for the Abolition of the District Council Appointment System 8 Proposal for the Abolition of the District Council Appointment System 8 Views sought 9 Ways of providing views 9 Annex I Schedule 3 to the District Councils Ordinance 11 Annex II Number of elected, appointed and ex officio members from the first term to the third term of the DCs 13 Annex III Number of elected, appointed and ex officio members for the fourth term of the DCs 14 Chapter One Introduction 1.1 The 18 District Councils (“DCs”) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HKSAR”) comprise elected members, appointed members and ex officio members. Over the years, appointed members and other members of the DCs have made significant contributions to community work. 1.2 Since the first term of the DCs, the number of elected seats has undergone an increase in each term which was in line with the population growth. In the first term of the DCs of the HKSAR, there were 390 elected seats. Such seats have been increased to 412 in the fourth term which commenced operation from 1 January 2012. This offers more opportunities for persons interested in serving the community to join the DCs through election. 1.3 In respect of constitutional development, the Legislative Council (“LegCo”) enacted the Chief Executive Election (Amendment) Ordinance 2011 and the Legislative Council (Amendment) Ordinance 2011 on 3 March and 5 March 2011 respectively setting out specific details for selecting the Chief Executive (“CE”) and for forming the LegCo in 2012.
