WHO WILL REPORT TO THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION ABOUT HONG KONG IF
AFTER 1997 CHINA IS STILL NOT PARTY TO THE COVENANTS?
Possible that China will have acceded to Covenants by 1997.
Understand Chinese authorities are aware of argument that China's
accession would provide further reassurance to people in Hong Kong.
Whatever decisions China may take, will be necessary to
consider how best to give effect to provisions of Joint Declaration/Basic Law that provision of Covenants as applied to Hong Kong will remain in force. Will be discussing this in due course with Chinese authorities through Sino-British Joint Liaison Group.
Naturally cannot prejudge outcome.
