Race Discrimination Ordinance Joining hands for social harmony
The Government is committed to maintaining a fair and harmonious society in Hong Kong. The Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance safeguard the rights of individuals, including the right against racial discrimination. We also have obligation, under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, to prohibit and to eliminate racial discrimination. Against this background, the Race Discrimination Ordinance was passed by the Legislative Council on 10 July and gazetted on 18 July 2008.
