He reported that new District Commanders Mr Patrick KWOK and Mr Mark FOSTER succeeded District Commanders of the Yau Tsim Police District and the Mong Kok Police District of the Hong Kong Police Force respectively who had been transferred to other posts; and that Mr LI Ka-kei, District Environmental Hygiene Superintendent (Mong Kok) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (“FEHD”) had also been transferred out and his successor Mr Eric CHEUNG, who was absent due to other official commitments, had designated Mr LAU Ping-kwong, Chief Health Inspector 1 (Mong Kok) to attend the meeting in his place. The Chairman suggested writing to the Commissioner of Police and the Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene in the name of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council (“YTMDC”) to express gratitude to Mr YU, Mr CHUNG and Mr LI for their contribution to the district and the YTMDC during their terms of office. There was no objection. The Chairman further said that Ms Christine YUEN, Senior Transport Officer (Yau Tsim Mong) of the Transport Department (“TD”) and Mr LEE Chi-yin, Senior Housing Manager (Kowloon West and Hong Kong 1) of the Housing Department were attending the meeting respectively in place of Mr Mario CHOY, Chief Transport Officer/Kowloon who was on leave and Mr LUI Kwong-fai, Chief Manager/Management (Kowloon West and Hong Kong) who was absent due to other commitments. The Chairman also said that due to other official commitments, Mr Ringo MOK, Chief Engineer/Kowloon 5 (Kowloon) of the Civil Engineering and Development Department (“CEDD”), would join the meeting later for discussion on Item 16, and before his arrival, Mr Felix POON, Engineer/14 (Kowloon), would attend the meeting in his place. Mrs Laura ARON, District Officer (Yau Tsim Mong) of the Home Affairs Department (“HAD”), would leave the meeting at 4:00 p.m. due to other official commitments and from then on, Miss Jocelyn NG, Assistant District Officer (Yau Tsim Mong), would attend the meeting in her place. (Mr Derek HUNG and Mr LAU Pak-kei joined the meeting at 1:35 p.m.) Item 1: Consultation Document on the Method for Selecting the Chief Executive by Universal Suffrage - 3 - Item 2: To Forge Consensus So As to Implement Universal Suffrage As Scheduled (YTMDC Paper No. 5/2015) 2. The Chairman said that Items 1 and 2, both concerned with the method for selecting the Chief Executive (“CE”) by universal suffrage, should be discussed together. There was no objection. 3. The Chairman welcomed Mr Rimsky YUEN, Secretary for Justice, Mr Howard LEE, Administrative Assistant to Secretary for Justice, and Miss Anna LEUNG, Assistant Secretary (3C) of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau to the meeting. 4. Mr Rimsky YUEN briefly introduced the key points of the Consultation Document on the Method for Selecting the CE by Universal Suffrage as follows: (i) The CE was currently elected by a 1 200-member Election Committee (“EC”). If universal suffrage for the CE election was implemented in 2017, 5 million eligible voters would be able to elect the CE through “one person, one vote” by that time. (ii) If the CE was to be elected through “one person, one vote”, persons seeking nomination and candidates would have to face 7 million people in Hong Kong. To seek the support of the Nominating Committee (“NC”) and voters, they would be likely to put forward manifestoes that would be more responsive to public aspirations. The Government also hoped to enhance transparency and competitiveness of the nominating procedures, so that persons seeking nomination could have opportunities to introduce their manifestoes to the public while voters could give feedback through different platforms. This could facilitate interaction between the public and the NC in order to solicit extensive public support for nomination results. (iii) Universal suffrage for selecting the CE was a prerequisite for universal suffrage for the Legislative Council (“LegCo”). The election of all LegCo Members by universal suffrage could only be implemented as the next step following the implementation of universal suffrage for the CE in 2017. This was of vital importance to the electoral system and governance of Hong Kong. Therefore, the Government hoped that the motion to amend Annex I to the Basic Law concerning the method for the selection of the CE, which would be put forth to the LegCo later, could obtain endorsement by a two-thirds majority of all LegCo Members. (Mr HUI Tak-leung joined the meeting at 1:43 p.m.) 5. Mr Francis CHONG supplemented the contents of Paper No. 5/2015. He said that some members of the public did not truly understand Article 45 of and Annex I to the Basic Law and accused the Central Government of “breaking its promise”. He said that according to Article 45 of and Annex I to the Basic Law, the NC would select the CE candidates before voters elected the CE designate, who would formally be appointed by the Central Government as the CE. The Basic Law had never been pledged to establish an electoral system for the CE without a NC. He continued that the Standing Committee of the National People’s - 4 - Congress (“NPCSC”) decided on 29 December 2007 that the selection of the CE by universal suffrage could be implemented in Hong Kong in 2017 but some people took it out of context.

  • Speech by Mr Keith Yeung, SC, Director of Public Prosecutions At
    Speech by Mr Keith Yeung, SC, Director of Public Prosecutions at the Closing Ceremony of the “Criminal Law Conference 2017” on Saturday, 20 May 2017 Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, friends, 1. David Leung SC said that he is the person between you and the door. Uncharacteristic of him, he was wrong. It is me. Now we are really towards the end of the programme. And it has been a very very long day. But I am sure, you, like me, are not tired. You have seen me fighting for air time, and I am quite prepared to go on for two more hours. No, of course I am not going to do that. But before I can release you, I still have to do a couple of things. Firstly, of course, I want to thank our guests Judge Young and Professor Ormerod, and our speakers, and all of you, our guests, being here sacrificing a precious Saturday, more and more precious these days, and to be here to share with us your views and give us this tremendous atmosphere. Can I invite you to give yourself a big hand? And secondly, it would be useful if we can have a short stock-take as to what we have discussed today. 2. We started off with the issue of “active case management”. We all know it is closely related to our new Practice Direction 9.3, which is going to come into operation on 12 June this year. I have said this previously, and I adhere to this, that the practice direction is going to be the most important of its kind in the last 20 years.

  • Speech by Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr David Leung, SC
    Speech by Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr David Leung, SC at the Opening Ceremony of the Prosecution Week 2018 on 22 June 2018 (Friday) Secretary for Justice, Chairman of the Bar, Vice President of the Law Society, colleagues in the Department of Justice and from other government departments, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: First of all, on behalf of the Prosecutions Division (PD), I would like to thank you all for coming today to the Opening Ceremony of the Prosecution Week 2018. The PD of the Department of Justice has organized this annual event for the 7th consecutive year since 2012. Our aim is to promote the Rule of Law and to enhance the public awareness of the Hong Kong criminal justice system. With a properly informed public in understanding how the criminal justice system operates, the stronger the public confidence in criminal justice system and the Rule of Law is in Hong Kong. Borrowing from the words of the Chief Justice in his address to the newly appointed Senior Counsel earlier this month, 1 without the confidence of the community, “the system – however good it is and however lauded it is by others – will have failed”1. To achieve this goal, PD has always been carrying out its duties to the highest professional standard in accordance with the Law. In the Prosecution Code, it has stated in the very first paragraph the duties and standard of Public Prosecutors:- “A prosecutor is required to act in the general Public Interest, but independently as a “Minister of Justice”. In making decisions and exercising discretion a prosecutor must act fairly and dispassionately on the basis of the Law, the facts provable by the admissible evidence, other relevant information known to the prosecution and any applicable policy or guidelines.” This leads me to introduce to you the theme of this year’s Prosecution Week: “The Law • Transparency • Public Interest”.

  • Hong Kong's National Security Law and the Right to Fair Trial
    HONG KONG’S NATIONAL SECURITY LAW AND THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL Cover photo caption: A protester tries to peacefully stop a police vehicle heading to the Legislative Council complex on June 12, 2019. Clashes between police and protesters on that day were a key turning point in the historic anti-extradition bill protests, which later led to Beijing’s decision to pass the National Security Law. Simply put, the right to a fair trial in NSL cases is under threat. The government’s aggressive approach to NSL cases documented in this report constitutes a direct assault on the rule of law in Hong Kong. This report was researched and written by Lydia Wong (alias, [email protected]), research fellow, Georgetown Center for Asian Law (GCAL); Thomas E. Kellogg ([email protected]), executive director, GCAL, and adjunct professor of law, Georgetown University Law Center; and Eric Yan-ho Lai ([email protected]), research fellow, GCAL. (Ms. Wong, a scholar from the PRC, decided to use an alias due to political security concerns). The authors would like to 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 also thank Kelsey Harrison for administrative and publishing support, and Ines Hilde for the cover design. Cover photo by CLOUD, a Hong Kong-based photographer.

  • OSC 2018 Annual Report
    SPREAD SOME JOY THIS CHRISTMAS Every Christmas, Operation Santa Claus strives to make dreams come true for thousands of people across Hong Kong. Over the past 31 years, countless organisations have offered us their heartwarming support in spreading hope and joy to the lives of the less fortunate. We remain grateful for these donors’ kindness and look forward to making needy people’s Christmases extra special for many years to come. Last year, Operation Santa Claus selected and helped 13 local charities raise money to benefit various projects in areas such as children and youth, plus people with physical and mental disabilities. In making a difference in our beneficiaries’ lives, we were delighted to “spread some joy at Christmas.” 「愛心聖誕大行動」 「愛心聖誕大行動」推動大眾参與善舉,扶助數百名香港弱勢社群, 讓他們的夢想成真。 過去逾三十一年「愛心聖誕大行動」一直與大眾攜手 分享愛心,燃點希望,為有特殊需要人士創造非凡聖誕。 去年,「愛心聖誕大行動」挑選了13間本地慈善團體,為他們的慈善項目 包括支援兒童、青年以及有生理或心理疾病人士等籌集資金, 改善他們的生活,藉此「傳揚聖誕歡樂」。 OPERATION SANTA CLAUS | 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 1 WHAT IS OPERATION SANTA CLAUS? Operation Santa Claus (OSC) is an annual charity campaign jointly organised by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK). Its key aim is to support the Hong Kong community and beyond, through the combined charitable fundraising power of two of the Territory's most respected news organisations. OSC’s roots stretch back to the 1960s when RTHK Radio 3 presenters raised money for charity by performing public stunts such as jumping into Victoria Harbour, climbing flagpoles and giving rooftop poetry recitals. In the 1970s, the government gave Hongkongers the Community Chest – an official body for receiving charitable donations – which effectively ended charity fundraising at Christmas.
