	Hong Kong Basic Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Basic Law was formally promulgated on 4 April 1990 by the NPC, together with the designs for the flag and emblem of the HKSAR.
		However, the Hong Kong government, some Beijing figures and the pro-Beijing camp claim that it should be the remaining term of the original Chief Executive, based on some insignificant Chinese words in the Chinese version of the Basic Law, introducing the remaining term concept.
		Hong Kong residents that favor autonomy view the "interpretation" from the Standing Committee as an intrusion into Hong Kong legal system by the central government in violation of the spirit of the One Country, Two Systems policy, and breaking the rule of law.

	Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23 is the basis (parent statute) of a security law proposed by the Hong Kong Government.
		Another argument against Article 23 laws as drafted by the HK government has been given by John Kamm, who argues that the mechanism for banning organizations would have the effect of requiring that Mainland China be more repressive outside of Hong Kong.
		The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), the larger pro-government party, had on that day booked a few of the park's football pitches for a carnival, with a comparably meager number of participants-- the rest of the park and the surrounding area was packed with people, literally shoulder to shoulder.

		At present, a majority of seats in Hong Kong's Legislative Council (LegCo) are elected by narrowly defined professional groups, while the Chief Executive is chosen by an election committee under the effective control of Beijing.
		Continuing with the current system would ignore the provisions in the Basic Law annexes that allow for amendments to Hong Kong's election system after 2007 and the obligation in Articles 45 and 68 of the Basic Law to move toward universal suffrage for the election of the Chief Executive and LegCo.
		Under Article 159 of the Basic Law, all amendments must be approved by a 2/3 vote of the Hong Kong LegCo, and no amendment may "contravene the established basic policies of the People's Republic of China regarding Hong Kong," including those related to human rights.
