但是,我們留意到,人大副秘書長李飛在其演說中,就人大常委的「831決定」有以下的論述: 「全國人大常委會除了具有政制發展的決定權之外,還具有基本法的解釋權。雖然決定不是解釋,但蘊含着全國人大常委會對基本法的權威理解,具有不容挑戰的法律效力。」$ P: R2 ]" c7 e0 I
6 {8 W c2 N2 M- L李先生的這句話,赤裸裸地展示了當權者怎樣以官威凌駕法律、把政治權宜等同法律。根據《基本法》、其附件、及人大常委過往按照《基本法》框架下作出的釋法:

- 人大常委最終就政改的決定權,是在香港立法會全體議員三分之二通過及行政長官同意政改後才適用的。換句話說,人大常委的決定權是一個終極否決權,並不是一個預設框架權。& |% o/ v5 D/ Q
- 人大常委行使其《基本法》釋法權前,先要徵詢基本法委員會的意見。無論在程序上或性質上,《基本法》釋法都與人大常委就行政長官產生辦法是否需要改變的權力是兩回事。

On 31 May 2015, a number of Hong Kong Legislative Councillors went to Shenzhen to attend a meeting over political reform issues with Central Government officials. Central Government officials used the occasion to express many views, of which most are either matters of detail on which we have previously stated a view, or prolix political discourse. As such, we will not comment on any such views.0 [7 ?6 Z! b6 F) Z
" F4 {2 _4 i: Z0 D+ W/ V* Fos.tvboxnow.comHowever, we note that during the speech of Mr Li Fei, the Deputy Secretary General of the National People's Congress, he made the following point in relation to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress's ("NPCSC") "August 31 Decision":
- H& j) J3 z G. B8 I. n
1 D V6 L' ?8 H% a6 @7 {- Gos.tvboxnow.com"The NPCSC, apart from having the power to decide on political system development, also has the power to interpret the Basic Law. Although the [August 31] Decision is not an interpretation, but it encapsulates NPCSC's authoritative understanding of the Basic Law, and has unchallengeable legal effect." (Our translation)TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。, z8 ?* ~ D/ w5 j; t
In one statement, Mr Li has nakedly displayed how those in power have used official authority override the law, and have put political expedience on equal footing with the law. According to the Basic Law, its annexures, and NPCSC's past interpretations in accordance with the Basic Law:
1 O, C* U7 u8 ]$ o1 _2 H% ^) v/ hos.tvboxnow.com- Prior to the Hong Kong Legislative Council getting to consider a political reform proposal, the NPCSC's power in relation to political reform is limited to whether there is a need to change the method for selecting the Chief Executive. The August 31 Decision is subject to the same limitation.公仔箱論壇" P. v5 S* g& k8 n8 Q1 {% G! p8 b
- The NPCSC's ultimate power to make a determination on political reform is only to be used after a two-thirds majority of all Hong Kong Legislative Councillors pass, and the Chief Executive approves, the political reform package. In other words, the NPCSC's power of determination is one of ultimate veto, and not a power to pre-set a framework.
, }! n' X! @) F8 O7 N- k9 l- In exercising its powers to interpret the Basic Law, the NPCSC must first consult the Basic Law Committee for its views. Both in terms of process and of nature, interpretation of the Basic Law and the NPCSC's power to decide whether the method for selecting the Chief Executive needs to change are two separate matters.2 I* u8 K& l9 G Q: B
The above points demonstrate clearly that as a matter of law, the NPCSC fundamentally lacks the power to use the August 31 Decision to set a framework for the method of selecting the Chief Executive. If those in power do respect the rule of law, they should not and cannot use the NPCSC's powers at another stage or under a different set of procedures to obfuscate matters, and give power where none exists, nor make legal what is illegal.
