DISCUSSION
1.
ON THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE RECOURSE
The problem is thrce-fold: the first problem is to determine whether a foreign government can lodge a recourse in the Conseil d'Etat. The second problem is to know, supposing the first problem solved in the affirmative, if the United Kingdom of Great Britain could lodge a recourse although, apparently, it had not been associated with the request for extradition presented by the British Embassy in the name of the Government of Hong Kong and the third question is to know whether the Governor of the Crown Colony of Hong Kong has any international authority which would allow him to lodge a recourse.
