Pro-Chinese Communist Party groups flooded the United Nations two-day hearing on mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau that concluded on Feb. 16.

The committee reviewed the situation of Hong Kong’s implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It is a multilateral treaty that commits nations to respect individuals’ civil and political rights, including the right to life, freedom of religion, speech, assembly, electoral rights, and rights to a fair trial.
