The Department of Justice today launched the third phase of the foundation course of its Rule of Law Education (ROLE) Stars Train-the-Leaders Programme. The two-day course is being taken by about 120 trainees from district youth committees in the 18 districts and from the Education University of Hong Kong. It covers topics relevant to the rule of law and daily life in a way that is diversified, interactive, and easy-to-understand, encouraging participants to become ROLE ambassadors and actively promote the rule of law in their daily lives and work. In his opening remarks at the event, Secretary for Justice Paul Lam said he hoped the programme would enhance trainees' understanding of the legal system and the rule of law in Hong Kong, as well as their capabilities in promoting the rule of law as youth leaders and educators in the future, thereby consolidating their role as leaders in rule of law education. As part of the course, Mr Lam also gave a lecture on the topic “Rule of law and our legal system”. He elaborated to the trainees on the essence of the rule of law as a concept, presented an overview of Hong Kong's legal and judicial systems, and explained the relationship between the rule of law and the Constitution, the Basic Law, the Hong Kong National Security Law, the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance and “one country, two systems”. Also taking part in the programme as a speaker was 14th National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee member and Legislative Council member Starry Lee. She spoke about the Mainland's legal system, as well as the functions of the NPC and state institutions. The second day of the programme, along with its graduation ceremony, will be held next Saturday. Trainees who have completed the course will receive certificates.
