Chen Hongyi, member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee, said that this time this time the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China did not deny the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal on Li Zhiying's ruling on the case of overseas lawyers to defend the Hong Kong National Security Law case, which shows that the national security cases involved in national securityWhen an overseas law representative is required, a certificate offered issued by the chief executive must be required.Li Zhiying can apply for a certificate from the chief executive.
The Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Congress reviewed the Li Zhiying case, and released the interpretation content during the closing of the meeting on Friday (December 30), indicating that the case involved in the Hong Kong National Security Law was hired.In the overseas lawyer, the court should obtain a certificate issued by the Chief Executive, otherwise the Hong Kong National Security Commission shall make judgments and decisions in accordance with the regulations.
According to the online media "Hong Kong 01" report, Chen Hongyi, a professor at the Constitution Lecture of the Constitution of the School of Law of the University of Hong Kong, said in an interview that this interpretation only supplemented some procedures during the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, because the past did not not past in the past.Knowing that the certificate issued by the Chief Executive's Institute can be applied to the handling of overseas legal representatives involved in the Hong Kong National Security Act.With this interpretation, there are examples.
As for whether this release of the Fa will be unfair to Li Zhiying, who has been approved by the Hong Kong Final Appeal Court of Court of Appeal, Chen Hongyi said that the Court of Final Appeal approved Li Zhiying's ruling for overseas lawyers.Lawyers' qualifications to go to Hong Kong are not approved by relevant lawyers to enter, and the two have a fundamental difference.
He said that the Hong Kong National Security Law stated that there was a certificate system for a certificate, but before everyone did not understand the scope of the application of the certificate, Li Zhiying did not apply for the original meaning of the Hong Kong National Security Law before filed an application to the final court.First apply to the Chief Executive and get a certificate, so there is no new requirements for plugging.
Chen Hongyi said that the interpretation of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China did not deny the employment of overseas lawyers involving the National Security Act, but only the premise must be applied to the Chief Executive first and obtained a certificate.Therefore, Li Zhiying can also apply to the Chief Executive.As for how to deal with the Li Zhiying case, he believes that the National Security Commission of the Chief Executive is handled by the National Security Commission.
In response to whether the content of this interpretation did not mention whether it was applicable to the Li Zhiying case, Tang Jiazheng, a member of the Hong Kong Executive Council and a senior barrister, said that this interpretation is not aimed at individual cases, but explained from Hong Kong from Hong Kong.From the date of the implementation of the National Security Law, the function and power of the Hong Kong National Security Commission will be treated with different cases. It is believed that this does not mean that the previous cases are ignored, and the National Security Commission will make a decision when necessary.
Tang Jiazheng said that the national security issue is not within the scope of Hong Kong's autonomy and is a national affairs and needs to be handled by the Guoan organs.He believes that if an overseas lawyer applies for the defender of the Guoan in the future, the Hong Kong National Security Commission reflects their opinions to the court.
He said that the Hong Kong National Security Commission has a representative of the Hong Kong Government to understand the people's conditions and special conditions in Hong Kong. The National Security Commission decides on the national security issue. It is efficient and in line with the "one country, two systems".He said that this interpretation can reduce the interpretation of the Hong Kong Government's motion to demand that the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, "Hong Kong people should be happy."
