Abstract

This article focuses on two recent episodes that shook the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. It analyzes the main features of the failed Extradition Bill and confronts them with those of the National Security Law that was later enacted by the People’s Republic of China. It also addresses the question as to whether the latter’s provisions are in breach of the basic policies for Hong Kong agreed upon in 1984 between the United Kingdom and the PRC. It concludes that, rather ironically, while the failed Extradition Bill was largely in tune with those basic policies and the human rights protections enshrined therein, the National Security Law is not.
香港引渡法案重访、《国家安全法》与“一国两制”人权保障的讽刺
这篇文章聚焦于最近两起震撼中华人民共和国香港特别行政区的事件。它分析了失败的《引渡法案》的主要特点,并将其与后来中华人民共和国颁布的《国家安全法》的特点进行了比较。它还讨论了后者的规定是否违反了1984年英国和中华人民共和国就香港达成的基本政策的问题。它得出的结论是,具有讽刺意味的是,尽管失败的引渡法案在很大程度上符合这些基本政策和其中所载的人权保护,但《国家安全法》却不符合。
