立法会议员就职宣誓制度的基本法表达

Basic Laws' Expression about the System of Oath-taking for Members of the Legislative Council

宣誓制度是特别行政区立法会议员就职时的必要程序,但目前在理论与实践中仍然存在一些亟待解决的问题,包括宣誓的性质与价值、宣誓的监誓人、宣誓的效忠对象以及宣誓的责任。这些问题的解决必须要回归到港澳两部基本法中去,结合基本法规范的原意与目的,完善行政主导下的立法会议员的就职宣誓制度,包括确认就职宣誓制度的程序性价值,转以行政长官为监誓人,明确效忠特区与效忠国家的高低关系,以及宣誓责任的承担。

Oath-taking is a necessary procedure for the inauguration of Legislative Council members in the Special Administrative Regions,but concerning this,there are still some problems to be solved in theory and practice,including what is the practice’s nature and value,who is the oath administrator,and to whom and responsibilities the allegiance is pledged.The solution of these problems can only be found in the Hong Kong and Macao Basic Laws.Taking into consideration of the original intention and purpose of the Basic Laws,we need to confirm the procedural value of the oath-taking and make the Chief Executive the oath administrator.Also,we need to clarify the relationship between allegiance to the Special Administrative Regions and to the state and the oath taker’s responsibilities as well.
