HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN HONG KONG
NOW AND AFTER 1997

It is hoped that international concern monitoring on Hong Kong's human rights can be raised in level as the Hong Kong agenda has not been given enough attention before. More detailed reports and information on individual cases of violations are available for any delegate's reference.
