Hong Kong's Status

Your letter of 3 July made my point very succinctly which I now repeat here for ease of reference :

(a)
(b)
there is nothing in the draft Convention corresponding to Article 28 of the 1971 Convention which provides for the designation of regions; and
I re-stress the need for recognition of the autonomy of Hong Kong's law enforcement agencies which will enable other contracting Parties to deal directly with them rather than go through those of the U.K.
The letter from P.K. Bailey of the Treaty Implementation and Commission Secretariat Section of the U.N. Division of Narcotic
Of Drugs either ignores or misses the point I am concerned with. course we have no problem in accepting an article based on Article 27 of the 1971 Convention (Territorial Application). HMG under either form can make a declaration. Our problem relates not so much to the present, but to the future: post 1997. Accordingly, it will be necessary to persist in the proposal to include an article on the basis of Article 28 of the 1971 Convention.

I suggest something on the following rough lines
Any Party may notify the Secretary- General that for the purposes of Articles [27] of the Convention, its territory is divided into two or more regions [areas subject to its jurisdiction], each [represented] [administered] by a separate drugs law enforcement administration which shall be responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the said Articles.
