A seven-member Government team will attend a United Nations hearing under the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Geneva September 19.

Deputy Secretary for Home Affairs Stephen Fisher will lead the team - part of the Chinese delegation - to explain the content of Hong Kong's report under the convention, one of the six major human rights treaties that apply to Hong Kong.

The Government invited the committee to inspect how the convention is implemented in Hong Kong earlier this year. They met with Government officials, lawmakers, and non-governmental orgnisations. They then followed up in June with a list of questions, to which the Government has responded. The upcoming hearing is expected to focus on those questions.

The list of questions, together with the Government's response, can be found here.
