不僅是法律而已:反思《「國安體制在香港」──《港區國安法》實施三年觀察記》

作者:黎恩灝(美國喬治城大學亞洲法中心研究員)

摘要:

本文旨在評價由一群匿名的香港公民社會工作者共同發布的《「國安體制在香港」――《港區國安法》實施三年觀察記》。本文先簡述整份觀察報告,並評估其對於研究香港國安法的執行狀況及相關政策措施的價值。其後,本文闡明當局通過和實施港區國安法的脈絡,即威權主義的全球化和香港尚未完成的「去殖民化」,何以促進建立香港國安體制。本文繼而分析香港境內外監察政府的機關,是否及如何繼續履行其監督政府施政的角色。最後,本文作者呼籲未來各界應多加努力,持續觀察與紀錄香港國家安全體制的執行動態。

Not Just About the Law: Reflections on A Report on the National Security Regime in Hong Kong (2024)

Author:Yan-ho Lai (Research Fellow at the Center for Asian Law, Georgetown University Law Center)

Abstract:

This article evaluates an observation report titled “The National Security Regime” in Hong Kong: A Three-year Observation of the Implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, published by a group of anonymous researchers concerning Hong Kong. This article first provides an overview of the observation report and reviews its merits for studying the enforcement of Hong Kong’s national security laws and relevant policy measures. This article then explains how the broader contexts, namely the globalization of authoritarianism via security legislation campaign and Hong Kong’s unfinished decolonization, enable the establishment of the city’s national security regime. This article follows by analyzing whether and how government watchdogs, both within and outside the border of Hong Kong, can continue to perform their functions to check the government conduct. In its conclusion, this article expresses hope for more efforts in observing and documenting the ongoing dynamics of implementing Hong Kong’s national security regime in the future.
