The ongoing Hong Kong protests were triggered via the introduction of the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill by the Hong Kong government.

If enacted the bill would have paved the way for extradition of criminal fugitives to China with which Hong Kong does not currently have extradition agreements.

It led to concerns that this would subject Hong Kong residents and visitors to the legal system of mainland China, undermining Hong Kong’s autonomy and people’s civil liberties. As protest have progressed, the five key demands laid down by the protestors are as follows - the withdrawal of the bill, investigation into alleged police brutality and misconduct, release of arrested protestors, retraction of the official characterisation of the protests as ‘riots, and Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s resignation along with introduction of universal suffrage for the election of the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive. Though it seems that Hong Kong is safe on the whole, those inside the city are still immensely worried about where this all leads and if there is an end in sight. 

In this episode, the Law in Action team talks to Professor Brice Dickson and students from Hong Kong about the protest and whether the government intransigence and police overreaction would ultimately lead to Hong Kong becoming another Belfast. They also discuss possible ways of resolution to avert further eruptions of violence.

PhD student Samantha Hopkins talks to Professor Harry van Buren from the University of New Mexico about the responsibilities which corporations owe to society, based on both their vast impact and their reliance on society in order to function.

Among the issues discussed are the role of states in regulating corporations, ways in which corporate measures for protecting human rights may be made more effective, the effects which the reduction of the worker to a ‘resource’ can have on human rights, and the potential role of the public in influencing corporate practice.

Professor van Buren has published widely in the business and human rights field, most recently regarding  the global supply chain and its impacts on human trafficking. Professor van Buren can be found on ResearchGate at [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Harry_Buren] and on twitter:https://twitter.com/hjvb3?lang=en’
