Congress finds the following: The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, along with human rights organizations, has called for an investigation of the use of crowd control tactics used in Hong Kong which fall short of international standards, including the United Nations Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials and the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms for Law Enforcement Officials. United States companies have reportedly provided the Hong Kong Police Force with munitions and non-lethal crowd control equipment that were reportedly used by the police.
Hong Kong citizens and the international community have called for changes to the Hong Kong Police’s crowd control tactics and these requests have gone unheeded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.
