    Protection of Rights in Hong Kong

    1. Why is the right to legal assistance important?

    2. Do you agree that the rights of the ICESCR are unenforceable, and
    therefore should remain “aspirational” only?

    3. Do agree with the ruling in Leung Kwok Hung & Others v HKSAR,
    regarding that the notification requirement under the Public Order
    Ordinance does not infringe against the freedom of assembly?

    4. Do you agree with the decision made in HKSAR v Ng Kung Siu


    regarding flag desecration?

    5. If you worked for a human rights agency, what would your assessment
    be of HKSAR?
