A draft Bill of Rights Ordinance was published in March 1990 which specifically incorporates most of the [4:179 BOOK REVIEW by such laws.6 Davis begins with and returns to a central question: who is to have power to interpret the Basic Law, given that Hong Kong's pow- ers of government are to be exercised in accordance with it.7 The Basic Law vests the power of interpretation in the Standing Commit- tee of the National People's Congress, which may then authorize Hong Kong courts to interpret those Basic Law provisions which are within the limits of the autonomy of the Region.	cache/cjal-3104.pdf	txt/cjal-3104.txt
