主权与人权关系的认识误区及立法衡平——对《香港基本法》第23条立法困境的思考

The Misunderstanding and Legislative Equity between Sovereignty and Human Rights——The Dilemma of the Article 23 of "Hong Kong Basic Law"

《香港基本法》在港实行14年以来,为香港社会经济的稳定繁荣发挥了重要的保障作用,并因此得到了广大香港民众的认同与支持。但基本法第23条有关维护国家安全立法的规定至今却未得落实,其主要原因在于对主权与人权这一对法制核心概念的认识存在偏差。因此,厘清主权与人权的概念和内涵,揭示主权绝对论和人权相对论的理论缺陷,重新对照基本法第23条的的基本立法精神,无疑将有助于基本法的全面和正确的实施。

During the past 14 years implementation,Hong Kong Basic Law has played an important role in social and economic stability and prosperity of Hong Kong,and is therefore received the recognition and support of the majority of Hong Kong people.But the provisions in the Basic Law Article 23 on protection of national security,have not implemented yet so far,the reason mainly lies in the deviation of the understanding of the rule's core concepts for human rights and sovereignty.So,to clarify the concept and content of sovereignty and human rights and reveal the theoretical shortcomings,reconstructing section 23 of the Basic Law,the basic spirit of the legislation will undoubtedly contribute to the implementation of the Basic Law comprehensively and correctly.
