EU governments have already expressed “grave concern” over China’s security law for Hong Kong, which democracy activists, diplomats and some businesses say will jeopardise its semi-autonomous status and its role as a global financial hub.
In a resolution, the European Parliament voted 565 in favour to 34 against, with 62 abstentions to protest the security law that Europe, Australia and the United States say would undermine the “one country, two systems” principle that governs Hong Kong’s autonomy. The European Parliament “calls on the EU and its member states to consider, in the event the new security law is applied, filing a case before the International Court of Justice,” the resolution said, referring to the highest United Nations legal body and based in The Hague.
The parliament’s resolutions are non-binding but the political signals they provide can steer policy.The parliament “believes that the EU should use its economic leverage to challenge China’s crackdown on human rights by economic means,” the resolution said. The leaders of the EU institutions and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang are set to hold a summit by video on Monday.

But EU administration especially Germany loves China so much. EU is part of China. Chinese EU.
If the EU can take China to a UN court over a city within their own country, can China take EU countries to a UN court over Ceuta and Melilla, or Gibralter, or the Falklands?
vikramchandra Unfortunately EU eucopresident has completely surrendered infront of China. For all the values it says it stands for, EU ignores China’s stark Suppression of Human Rights and continue to do business as usual with this global bully HongKong Uyghurs Tibet WuhanVirus
Not that the CCP acknowledges the rule of law, but stick it up them anyway.
who are these lawmakers? what is their nationality
Europe can't sort out European problems so why should it decide how Hong Kong should work.
🤣🤣🤣
Kangaroo court ?
Then the court members will be sanctioned by China & US , big glory! Indeed jealous, lmao
In response China will ignore, block, or set aside the judgement because the UN has no teeth to enforce it. China's membership on the Security Council renders such attempts largely futile.
The CCP is trying again and again to destroy the justice and humanity in the name of the rule of law. The EU should follow the EU-Resolution and sanction every Chinese human rights abuser GlobalMagnitskyAct Text of the Resolution:
Those who started this BS must be hongkongnese.
Read the treaty.
Time to show Solidarity with HongKong, it is never too late! HongKongNeedsHelp HongKongProtests
We all know where this is heading - unfortunately. The only things we don't know are the exact timelines and the death toll.
Sadly, it is no longer the Qing Dynasty
Germany has no interest in a conflict with China. Given the economic problems in Southern Europe neither Germany nor the EU have any interest in further conflict with China. Europe and the EU have Trump constantly presenting them with new Trade problems. Not happening.

National Security Law affect human rights. Violation of international law, especially the commitments under the Sino-British Joint Declaration. Those Hong Kong officials involved in assisting China must be sanctioned as well.😕 PuppetRegime NewWestBerlin
China broke an international treaty, and it was not the first time. Whereas the Sino-British Joint Declaration guarantees FreeSpeech and democracy in HongKong, CCP tried its best to murder these all.
but China has veto vote in UN how abt kicking China out of UN first?
Who tell me why western incl. UK come to China one hundred years ago, to help Chinese people and make friends? They burned the Summer palace and grabbed HK. Now they said HK not belong to China?
End the CCP Dictatorship
EU is within striking distance
Read the history. Who invaded other continent and extinct the indigenous people or enslave them most? Western or China? Could it be called freedom and human rights? BLACK LIVES MATTER BLACK LIVES MATTER BLACK LIVES MATTER
How about the same level of energy at USA for their treatment of black people?
Thanks EU. This evil and dictatorial law, and CCP are destroying freedom, human right, economic and 1 country 2 systems of Hong Kong. However, We will not give up. standwithhongkong HongKongPoliceTerriosm youcantstopus

Possible to bring the HKPoliceTerrorists to the court as well?
CCP China should be blamed. How come they could breached the promise to HongKongers, and ruining a city and suppress the people.
LIES! The EU did support Spain when the Spanish troops did beat Catalan peaceful voters in 2017. They did support the suspension of the Catalan Parliament and Government by Spain... The EU is HIGHLY HYPOCRITE. They don’t stand for democracy! It’s just money and geopolitics!
Wake up from your dirty wet dreams, lawmakers
China and USA are 2 faces of the same coin. Both want to rule and bully the rest of the world and both engage in domestic and international thuggery of one form or another. Europe should play the two bastards one against the other and come out on top.
China has huge influence in UN
And the UN should restore HongKong autonomous without a puppet government. CCP and HK's system is where problems come from. Also after 2047, HK must continue to enjoy freedom and democracy. StandWithHongKong FighrForFreedom
EU should do so. CCP has bullied & threatened the world & it's own people. Shouldn't they be charged ? SanctionChina DecoupleChina
Silence21240183 Stand with HongKong Fight for freedom!
Silence21240183 Punish china!!

China put itself against free world
And also: Take USA for black lives. Take Israel for Palestine. Take India for Kashmir. Take Saudi Arabia for UAE. Take Myanmar for Ruhangiya. (You fake world).
The whole world must aware human right in hk and for those who is suppressing by ccp. It is dangerous party must be careful.
Don't just provide lip service, why not offering citizenship to those who want to live in the free world.
The CCP is a powerful criminal group, stealing foreign intellectual property rights, infiltrating organizations and enterprises of various countries, hacking or invading any system of various countries, printing fake US dollar bills in the country, selling human internal organs,
Wake up, downfallen country! Take back the attitude to look down over China's internal affairs as what you used to do.
They will not listen even if it favors EU as it does to the Philippine Territories in West Philippine Sea. China doesn't care at all as long as it satisfy its INTERESTS.
The world is finally waking up, red China is actually going berserk right now. The world needs to be aware that when an aggressor is pushing in, and you let them do that, it is actually the same as surrendering. HK is at the forefront and needs your help!
WAKE UP! Learn from painful history of world war - negotiation and appeasement doesn’t work to a tyranny. Boycott and sanction CCP! StandWithHongKong WeRemember612 MagnitskyActNow
EU are always hypocrites. double standard on 'Catalan independence movement'
Ex me，EU don't rule Hong Kong, OK ?!In that case, if China should take regions of EU to court over the issues we have nothing to do with
Grateful to hear the news. Thank you EU for speaking up for HK. When we stand together in unity, it will make a difference. Appeasement is not an option in front of the brutal CCP regime. NewWestBerlin
It’s not going to stick.

The new law has the majority support in HK. Nothing U.N. can do.
The UN is useless. The USA should kick them out.
EU should take China 🇨🇳 and the Chinese Premier to UN for crimes against humanity. ChinaLiedPeopleDied China
Absolutely! ... And the apartheid nation-state of Israel should be stopped from stealing Palestine and killing Palestinians
EU should faced charges for taking part in The Hague for the illegal Iraq War.
For more than 500 years, Europeans have invaded and looted the planet, yet their home civilizations are deemed so fragile that they must be insulated against the cultures of the formerly colonized peoples
US, UK Hong Kong Hypocrisy
As if the UN have any teeth over that situation. Possibly sanctions, but that's a 2 way street and we are globally interdependent economies really. EU is facing economic crisis.
EU licking the cream off Trump's bellend.
Do you think China gives a dam?
nobody cares
Si no denuncian a china por coronavirus...No pasa Nada.....
China suppresses freedoms and does not respect democracy and the most basic human rights. It is a pity that we happen in 2020
EU should take the US to U.N. court over Police Brulity, lawmakers say
Tell me, what did UN do in the Iraq war?
of course it should. Here in Italy, I hope they plan to do that
