Hong Kong enacts new national security regulation, granting expanded executive powers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Hong Kong has enacted a new regulation concerning national security, the Safeguarding National Security (Procedural Matters) Regulation. This legislation aims to clarify the scope of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (SNSO) and grants new powers to the chief executive. While no new substantive criminal offenses are introduced, the regulation allows for the procedural application of the SNSO to acts committed before its introduction, a point that has drawn significant attention and calls for prudent exercise of these powers.
