WHO WILL REPORT TO THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION ABOUT HONG KONG IF
AFTER 1997 CHINA IS STILL NOT PARTY TO THE CIVIL AND POLITICAL
RIGHTS COVENANT?
Chinese officials had indicated that favourable consideration was being given to China acceding to the Covenant. Recent developments
must cast some doubt on that.
Whatever decisions China may take, will be necessary to consider how best to give effect to provisions of Joint Declaration/Basic Law that provisions of Covenants as applied to Hong Kong will remain in force. Will need to discuss this in due course with Chinese authorities through Sino-British Joint Liaison Group.
