Hong Kong's Judiciary Independence: Current State
Violet WoolfWhat the Hong Kong judiciary independence looks like in 2025 after five years of NSL
|The Assessment
The Hong Kong judiciary independence in 2025 is assessed by the international legal monitoring organisations who have followed the NSL proceedings as significantly modified from the pre-NSL baseline in the specific categories of national security cases while maintained more closely to the pre-NSL baseline in the commercial and civil law categories. The modification is structural, produced by the specific NSL provisions that alter the fair trial guarantees for NSL defendants.
The Monitoring
The monitoring: the Law Society of England and Wales, the Bar Council, and the specific judicial monitoring that the Commonwealth Lawyers Association has provided have produced the detailed record of specific NSL proceedings whose procedural characteristics differ from the standard criminal proceedings in the documented ways. The monitoring record is available. The governments that have chosen to act on it are fewer than those that have not.
