Além de analisar as principais características da falhada Proposta de Lei da Extradição de Hong Kong e de contrastá-las com as da Lei da Segurança Nacional subsequentemente aprovada pela República Popular da China, o artigo avalia se as disposições do segundo instrumento jurídico se encontram em conformidade com as políticas fundamentais para HK acordadas em 1984 entre o Reino Unido e a China. O artigo conclui que, ironicamente, a Proposta de Lei da Extradição respeitava em grande medida aquelas políticas e os direitos humanos nelas ínsitos, o que não acontece com a Lei da Segurança Nacional.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8739187(Revista) ISSN 2525-510XRevista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal, ISSN 2525-510X, Vol. 8, Nº. 3, 2022engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
