国内英语资讯:特区政府全面实施最高立法机构基本法律解释

The SAR government considers that their conduct seriously undermines the rule of law and deals a heavy blow to "one country, two systems," said the official.

On Oct. 18, the SAR government commenced legal proceedings in the court, requesting the court to rule that Leung and Yau have failed to fulfill the legal requirements and should be disqualified as LegCo members in accordance with Article 104 of the Basic Law, the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance, as well as previous court rulings of related cases.

At its meeting in Beijing earlier on Monday, in accordance with the requirements of Article 67(4) of the Constitution and Article 158(1) of the Basic Law, the NPCSC issued its interpretation and clear explanations concerning oath-taking by public officers specified in Article 104 of the Basic Law, including LegCo members, when assuming office, said the chief executive.

It is an important part of the constitutional and legal systems of HKSAR for the NPCSC to exercise its power conferred by the Constitution and the Basic Law to interpret provisions of the Basic Law, he explained.

The interpretation is intended to ensure that public officers specified in Article 104 of the Basic Law, when assuming office and taking oath in accordance with law, must read out the oath as prescribed in the law, including "to uphold the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China," in an accurate, complete and solemn manner, said Leung.
