<p>The UK is fully committed to upholding the Joint Declaration of 1984 and has consistently
highlighted the importance we attach to China abiding by its obligations. Though we
have no plans to raise the Joint Declaration in the Security Council, the UK did raise
the Sino-British treaty in our national ‘item 2’ statement at the 42nd session of
the UN Human Rights Council in September. In the statement, we re-iterated our support
for and call for all to respect the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework, including
the rights and freedoms in the Joint Declaration. We also underlined the importance
of upholding the right to peaceful assembly in the UK’s statement at the Third Committee
of the UN General Assembly on 15th October.</p>
