  • Equality As a Human Right: the Development of Anti-Discrimination Law in Hong Kong
    Equality as a Human Right: The Development of Anti-Discrimination Law in Hong Kong CAROLE J. PETERSEN* The women's movement in Hong Kong has significantly benefited from the political and legal changes that oc- curred during the transition to 1997. Citizens of Hong Kong developed a greater awareness of human rights issues, and women have successfully identified equality as a "human right" deserving legalprotection. The women's movement has also allied itself with the increasingly democratic and assertiveLegislative Council. As a result, the legalprohibition offemale inheritance of land in Hong Kong was repealed in 1994 and the first law prohibiting sex discrimination was enacted in 1995. Additionally, Hong Kong's first Equal Opportunities Commission is being established. Ironically, the very developments that strengthened the women's movement in recent years-its association with the broaderhuman rights movement and with assertive legislators--may threaten it when China regains sovereignty. * Lecturer in Law, School of Professional and Continuing Education, University of Hong Kong. B.A., University of Chicago, 1981; J.D. Harvard Law School, 1984; Postgraduate Dip. Law of the PRC, University of Hong Kong, 1994. This article is a revised and updated version of a paper delivered at the 1995 Wolfgang Friedmann Confer- ence-Hong Kong: Financial Center of Asia, at Columbia Law School on March 30, 1995. From September 1993 to August 1995, the author served as a part-time consultant to Legislative Councillor Anna Wu and assisted her in the drafting of the Equal Opportunities Bill, the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission Bill, and amendments to the Sex Discrimination Bill (described in Part V below).

  • Unlimited Business Opportunities Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities
    Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities Chapter V Unlimited Business Opportunities –71 My Belief “To maintain a city’s competitiveness is like sailing a boat against the current and it must forge ahead in order not to be driven back. Hence, Hong Kong must keep consolidating its existing strengths, exploring new advantages, expanding economic and trade ties with the world, and fostering closer exchange and co-operation with the Mainland.” “The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government is determined to boost the development of new and emerging industries in addition to our traditional industries, and considers that both innovation and technology and the creative industries have a competitive edge and much potential. They will not only promote a diversified economy, but also create more quality employment opportunities for our young people.” Hong Kong has been acclaimed as the world’s most open, freest and most competitive city by many international organisations. Leveraging our unique strengths under “One Country, Two Systems”, we will continue to provide a business-friendly environment, uphold operation of the market and promote free trade. We will also strive to develop new areas of economic growth. The National 13th Five-Year Plan pledges support for Hong Kong to reinforce and enhance its status as an international financial, transport and trade centre; develop its innovation and technology (I&T) industry; and establish itself as a centre for international legal and dispute resolution services in the Asia-Pacific region. The Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) development have brought enormous opportunities for the economic development of Hong Kong.

  • The 2012 Election Reforms
    Prospects for Democracy in Hong Kong: The 2012 Election Reforms (name redacted) Specialist in Asian Affairs February 1, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R40992 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Prospects for Democracy in Hong Kong: The 2012 Election Reforms Summary Support for the democratization of Hong Kong has been an element of U.S. foreign policy for over 17 years. The Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-383) states, “Support for democratization is a fundamental principle of United States foreign policy. As such, it naturally applies to United States policy toward Hong Kong. This will remain equally true after June 30, 1997” (the date of Hong Kong’s reversion to China). The Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-8) provides at least $17 million for “the promotion of democracy in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan …” The democratization of Hong Kong is also enshrined in the Basic Law, Hong Kong’s quasi- constitution that was passed by China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) prior to China’s resumption of sovereignty over the ex-British colony on July 1, 1997. The Basic Law stipulates that the “ultimate aim” is the selection of Hong Kong’s Chief Executive and the members of its Legislative Council (Legco) by “universal suffrage.” However, it does not designate a specific date by which this goal is to be achieved. On November 18, 2009, Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen released the long- awaited “consultation document” on possible reforms for the city’s elections to be held in 2012.
