香港大學教育學院勤達傑出學人Professor Anne Watson

Privacy Regulations in the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a world where physical objects are seamlessly integrated into an information network. Services are available to interact with the "smart objects" over the Internet. The implementation of the IoT architecture and the use of RFID raise a number of legal questions related to the privacy of the concerned persons: (i) Is there a need for additional (international and/or national) laws or self-regulations in order to improve privacy? (ii) Which new issues need to be tackled in view of the technological challenges posed by the IoT? (iii) If new laws are needed, which kinds of laws are required and what is the time frame for their implementation? Several approaches do exist, however, the chances and challenges are to be discussed in more detail, for example related to a right-to-know-legislation, a prohibition-legislation or an IT-security legislation. The Speaker Professor Rolf H. Weber is Visiting Research Professor of HKU Faculty of Law.

Sovereign Immunity and the Basic Law: Implications of FG Hemisphere Associates (the Congo Case) for Hong Kong
On February 10, 2010, the Court of Appeal (by majority) found that the international rule of restrictive immunity continued to apply in Hong Kong, notwithstanding that the rule of absolute immunity may be applicable to Mainland China. The Court of Final Appeal will consider the case in March 2011, and, before it can adjudicate, it may need for the first time a certifying document from the Central People's Government or an interpretation of the Basic Law from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. In this panel discussion, legal academics in the Centre for Comparative and Public Law will consider and debate the legal and wider implications of the case from the perspectives of constitutional law, public international law, the reception of international law in Hong Kong's domestic law, and business law.
