Geoffrey Ma Tao-li also insisted on Thursday that foreign judges should not be excluded from cases, an assurance given earlier by the city’s leader but contrary to a senior Beijing official’s suggestion that rulings should not be tainted by “dual allegiance”.
In a statement two days after the sweeping national security law Beijing tailor-made for Hong Kong was passed in Beijing, Ma said he would like to “state some general principles” regarding the designation of judges and operation of the courts under the new law.
“It is inappropriate to comment on other aspects of the law,” the city’s top judge added.
Last month, Zhang Yong, vice-chairman of the Basic Law Committee under the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, the country’s top legislative body, told representatives of Hong Kong’s pro-establishment bloc that the city’s leader had to avoid choosing judges who could be compromised by “dual allegiance” because of their foreign nationality.
