Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC)
Note: HKDC operates from diaspora in Washington DC. It is included here because its work is specifically about a particular governance system — the accountability structures promised to Hong Kong under One Country, Two Systems — rather than general human rights documentation.
The Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC) advocates for the restoration of democratic elections and accountable governance in Hong Kong, framed around the governance commitments China made under One Country, Two Systems when Hong Kong was handed over in 1997. The 2020 National Security Law and subsequent electoral reforms fundamentally altered Hong Kong's political structure, replacing competitive elections with an appointment-dominated system.
HKDC's case is specifically about holding China to its own stated commitments — the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law both included specific governance structures that were agreed upon and subsequently altered.
