所以，有法可依或依法辦事，不一定體現到社會公義。
Therefore having laws to go by or acting in accordance with law cannot necessarily reflect social justice
為甚麼律政司沒有主動向公眾陳述，令公眾對於法治和核心價值有較清晰的理解？
Why has DoJ not taken the initiative to explain matters to the public so that they will have a clearer understanding of the rule of law and core values?
這令人質疑，律政司現在是否已經純粹變成政權的工具，不再是獨立於政權，負責監察政權的行事是否合法的機關？
People wonder whether DoJ has now become a tool working for the regime whether it is no longer independent of the regime and it is no longer an organ responsible for monitoring whether the acts of the regime are awful
律政司已經變成政權手上的一把刀，這真的是我們想看到的律政司的立場和角色嗎？
DoJ has now turned into a knife in the hands of the regime; are these really the position and role of DoJ that we would like to see?
警隊是香港政府最龐大的紀律隊伍，市民都盼望警務人員可以保障自己的安全。
The Police Force is the largest team among the disciplined forces in Hong Kong and members of the public hope that police officers would safeguard their safety
廉政公署成立後，也有很大規模的反對行動，但後來逐漸做得更好。
After the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption there were large - scale oppositions but the situation has gradually improved
為甚麼近年港大民調的chart直線下降？
Why do the opinion polls conducted by the University of Hong Kong show a declining rate of popularity of the Police in recent years?
因為政權縱容警隊做這些事情，充當其打手，警隊高層也沒有絲毫反省，所以"上樑不正下樑歪"。
The reason is that the regime connived at police officers being hatchet men . The senior management of the Police Force has not reflected on the problem hence if the upper beam is not straight the lower ones will go aslant
不要說我在批評警隊，事實上有很多客觀現實，包括評分下降、投訴增加，大家都覺得近來有較多有關警隊的新聞。
Please do not say that I am criticizing the Police Force . In fact there are a lot of objective facts including the decline in popularity ratings and the increase in complaints . In recent years there is more news about the Police Force
電影上影前，懲教署發信給有關人士，表明沒有證據的話，便不可以說是真人真事改編，雖然導演說用詞十分溫和。
Before the movie is shown CSD sent a letter to the persons concerned indicating that they could not say that the movie was an adaption of real - life events if there was no evidence
但是，溫和的用詞背後是很大的威脅。
According to the director although the words in the letter are very soft in tone there is a serious threat behind these expressions
懲教署拒絕承認這些都是真實發生的事情。
CSD refused to admit whether the incidents depicted in the movie have really happened
就議員對個別議題的發言，我將作出扼要回應。
I will respond briefly to Members speeches on individual subjects
國家安全屬於中央職權範圍。
National security is a matter within the purview of the Central Authorities
全國人大以決定和立法方式，作出《全國人民代表大會關於建立健全香港特別行政區維護國家安全的法律制度和執行機制的決定》授權全國人大常委會訂立《香港國安法》，為香港建立健全維護國家安全的法律制度及執行機制，為"一國兩制"成功實 踐揭開新章，開創新格局的重要里程碑，讓香港重回"一國兩制"的初心。
NPC made the Decision of the National Peoples Congress on Establishing and Improving the Legal System and Enforcement Mechanisms for Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and entrusted NPCSC to formulate the National Security Law so as to establish and improve the enforcement mechanisms to safeguard national security in Hong Kong . The Decision and the National Security Law open a new chapter for the successful implementation of one country two systems . They are important milestones of a new horizon bringing one country two systems in Hong Kong back to its original intent
事實上，世界上很多國家，例如美國、英國，澳洲和加拿大等，早已制定了在維護國家安全方面的專門法律。
In fact many countries in the world such as the United States the United Kingdom Australia and Canada have enacted dedicated laws to safeguard national security long ago
《香港國安法》所規管的罪行亦與其他國家的國家安全法律相近，旨在維護國家主權、領土完整及發展利益。
The offences regulated under the National Security Law are similar to those regulated under the national security laws of other countries with a view to safeguarding national sovereignty territorial integrity and development interests
《基本法》第二十三條並不改變上述基本原則，它要求香港特區履行就關乎國家安全的若干罪行立法的憲制責任。
Article 23 of the Basic Law does not change the fundamental principles set out above . It imposes a constitutional responsibility on the HKSAR to enact legislation in respect of certain offences relating to national security
事實上，中央一直擁有就國家安全事宜立法的權力和職責，特別是在香港特區未有履行該項責任的時候。
As a matter of fact the Central Authorities always have the power and responsibility to legislate on matters of national security especially when this responsibility of the HKSAR has not been fulfilled
因此，"一國兩制"不僅沒有被改變，反而鞏固了根基。
Therefore not only have no changes been made to one country two systems but its foundation has instead been reinforced
《香港國安法》的域外效力符合國際法下的"保護管轄"原則。
The extraterritorial application of the National Security Law is in line with the principle of protective jurisdiction in international law
"保護管轄"原則亦常見於反恐怖主義的幾部國際公約。
The principle of protective jurisdiction is commonly found in several international conventions against terrorism
不少國家的國家安全相關法律也有域外效力，例如德國的《刑法典》針對叛國罪、美國針對勾結外國和境外勢力活動的《盧根法》、《外國情報監控法》，和新加坡的《防止網路假訊息與網路操縱法》等。
Extraterritorial application is also a common feature of national security laws in many countries . Some examples include the German Criminal Code which contains an offence of treason; the Logan Act and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of the United States which target against collusion with foreign countries and external powers; and the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act of Singapore
任命指定法官方面，我重申行政長官只是為不同級別的法院訂立指定法官名單，並不是委派某法官審理某特定案件。
With regard to the appointment of designated judges I reiterate that the Chief Executive only designates a list of judges in different levels of courts; she does not assign which judge to preside over a specific case
法官在處理相關案件時，仍然是獨立地履行司法職能，不受任何干涉。
When handling the cases relating to the National Security Law judges remain independent in performing their judicial functions and are free from any interference
因此，《香港國安法》就指定法官的安排絕無損害香港特區一直備受尊崇的司法獨立。
Hence the arrangement on the designation of judges under the National Security Law does not undermine the highly respected judicial independence of HKSAR
此看法已於唐英傑一案獲法院確定。
This viewpoint has been confirmed by the court in the TONG Ying - Kit case
有議員亦提到個人利益與整體利益的關係。
Some Members also mentioned the relationship between personal interests and public interests
《香港國安法》第二條明確指出，《基本法》第一條和第十二條是根本性條款。
Article 2 of the National Security Law stipulates that the provisions in Articles 1 and 12 of the Basic Law are the fundamental provisions in the Basic Law
最近，社會上又有人說全國人大常委會對香港有關議題作出決定有損本地司法制度。
Recently there are comments in the community that NPCSCs decision on Hong Kongs affairs is detrimental to our judicial system
大家需要謹記，中國是單一制的國家，權力來自中央。
We should bear in mind that China is a unitary state and power comes from the Central Authorities
《基本法》是授權法，《憲法》和《基本法》清楚說明中央的權責及中央授予特區的權力和責任。
The Basic Law is a piece of enabling legislation . The Constitution and the Basic Law clearly lay out the powers and obligations of the Central Authorities as well as the powers and obligations granted to the SAR Government by the Central Authorities
當牽涉憲制問題時，全國人大或全國人大常委會有責任、有權力和有必要根據《憲法》和《基本法》作出相關決定，提供具約束力的法律基礎，準確落實《憲法》和《基本法》所共同構建的憲制秩序。
NPC or NPCSC has the responsibility authority and necessity to determine constitutional matters in accordance with the Constitution . Their decisions provide a binding legal basis for the proper enforcement of the constitutional order established under the Constitution and the Basic Law
正正是這些對《憲法》和《基本法》的不認識或誤解，促使律政司在去年舉辦《基本法》頒布30周年法律高峰論壇"追本溯源"，通過專家的介紹和分享，讓廣大市民對《憲法》和《基本法》有正確的認識和理解。
Owing to the inadequate understanding or misunderstanding of the Constitution and the Basic Law the Department of Justice DoJ hosted last year the Basic Law 30 Anniversary Legal Summit with the theme Back to Basics . Through the introduction and sharing of experts it was hoped that members of the public have a correct understanding and perception of the Constitution and the Basic Law
此外，律政司亦會持續推廣《憲法》、《基本法》和《香港國安法》的工作、編撰《基本法》彙編、為教師製作《基本法》和法治教育的電子教材，以及為中小學生推行法治先導計劃等。
DoJ will continue its work to promote the Constitution the Basic Law and the National Security Law . It will compile a compendium of the Basic Law develop electronic teaching materials on the Basic Law and rule of law education and implement the Pilot Scheme on Rule of Law Education in primary and secondary schools . The rule of law has numerous definitions and interpretations and can be measured in many ways
法治有各種定義和詮釋，指標眾多，並無國際認可的統一標準，但有一點很清楚，甚麼"違法達義"的說法絕對違反法治精神，這些不正確的概念必須要糾正。
There are no internationally accepted unified standards for the term . However one point is certain ie . the so - called achieving justice by violating the law is absolutely against the spirit of the rule of law and this wrong concept must be rectified
維護法治人人有責，整個社會須遵守法律，並應積極宣揚正確的法治概念。
It is the duty of everyone to abide by the law and to promote a proper understanding of the rule of law
正如我於2020年法律年度開啟典禮中指出，法治的內涵言人人殊，有些是基於主觀感覺，也有些是基於客觀指標。
As I stated at the Ceremonial Opening of the Legal Year 2020 there are many intimations of what constitutes the rule of law some based on subjective perception while others on objective indicia
有見及此，律政司正透過"願景2030聚焦法治"十年計劃成立客觀法治資料數據庫，目前正積極籌建及整理相關數據。
In view of this DoJ is setting up a rule of law database with objective data under the 10 - year initiative Vision 2030 for Rule of Law . Active work is currently being carried out on the development of the database and the collection of relevant data
司法獨立是法治的重要一環。《基本法》第八十五條保障司法獨立。
Judicial independence is an essential element of the rule of law and is guaranteed under Article 85 of the Basic Law
作為"公眾利益守護者"，我有義務按照法律所授予或施加的權利和義務行事。
As a guardian of the public interest I am duty - bound to act in accordance with the rights and obligations conferred or imposed by the law
因此，我早前向法庭申請了4項禁制令，包括禁制對司法及執法人員"起底"及滋擾。
Therefore some time ago I applied to the court for four injunction orders to restrain doxxing and harassment against judicial and law enforcement officers
維護司法獨立不單是政府或律政司的職責，亦是社會上每一個市民的義務。
Safeguarding judicial independence is not just the duty of the Government or DoJ but an obligation of every citizen
社會上不同人士尤其作為法律界重要持份者的兩個法律專業團體香港大律師公會和香港律師會，它們分別根據"規章及規則"和"組織章程大綱"，也有責任捍衞司法獨立。
In particular the two legal professional bodies the Hong Kong Bar Association and The Law Society of Hong Kong which are the crucial stakeholders of the legal sector are duty - bound under the Rules Regulations and the Memorandum of Association respectively to safeguard our judicial independence
捍衞司法獨立的方式可以不同，但必須宣揚正確的信息。
There are various ways to safeguard our judicial independence but they must convey the correct message
議員對司法改革這議題亦提出了一些意見。
Members have voiced some opinions on the topic of judicial reform
我希望大眾要以平常心看待"司法改革"一詞。
I hope the public will treat the term judicial reform with a calm demeanour
事實上，司法機關一直不斷作檢討，終審法院首席法官於今年法律年度開啟典禮中亦指出，司法機構將實施法律程序及支援系統數碼化、檢討投訴法官處理機制，以及為不同類別案件編訂優次以提升處理案件效率。
In fact the Judiciary has carried out regular reviews and as pointed out by the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal at this years Ceremonial Opening of the Legal Year it will digitize its legal procedures and support systems as well as review its mechanism of handling complaints against judges . The Judiciary will also allocate priorities to different types of cases so that they can be handled more efficiently
司法改革應由司法機關主導，律政司會全力支持及配合司法機關的優化措施。
The judicial reform should be led by the Judiciary and DoJ will fully support and complement with the enhancement initiatives
若有人對判刑感到不滿，現行法院上訴或覆核機制一直行之有效。
For anyone who is dissatisfied with a ruling by the court there has been an effective mechanism to lodge appeal or seek judicial review
今年律政司根據《刑事訴訟程序條例》第81A條提出的刑罰覆核申請大幅增加，與2019年4宗相比，2020年有17宗。
This year marks a significant increase in the number of applications for review of sentence lodged under section 81A of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance with 17 applications lodged in 2020 compared to 4 in 2019
在2020年經已裁決的12宗申請中，11宗申請得直。
Of the 12 applications decided in 2020 11 were allowed
上訴法庭在其中4宗案件中，重申黃之鋒案的判刑原則，即在處理牽涉暴力的大型非法集會案件時，必須強調阻嚇和懲罰作用。
In four of the cases the Court of Appeal repeated the sentencing principle as set out in the WONG Chi - Fung case ie . it is necessary for the court to emphasize deterrence and punishment in large - scale unlawful assembly cases involving violence
上訴法庭亦指出，在黃之鋒案所釐清的原則應被適當應用，不能流於"口惠而實不至"。
The Court of Appeal also pointed out that the principle set out in the WONG Chi - Fung case should be applied appropriately rather than just paying lip service
有議員亦提到量刑委員會。
Some members also mentioned sentencing commission
這類機構有很多不同目的和職能，有些司法管轄區為了平衡法院就判刑的酌情權和一致性，設立了專責機構制定判刑指引，這些機構可以是從屬司法機構，或是獨立機構。
Such kind of commission is established for many different purposes and functions in different jurisdictions . Some jurisdictions set up a sentencing commission for the purpose of developing sentencing guidelines in order to maintain a balance between judicial discretion and uniformity in sentencing . Sentencing commission can either exist as a branch of the judiciary or as an independent institution
在香港而言，如果我們要考慮設立這類機構，我們首先要釐清問題所在，然後再對症下藥。
In Hong Kong if we are to consider setting up a sentencing commission we must first identify the crux of the problem and then tackle it with the right measures
如果是有其他原因，正如前首席法官所說，只要有細節、理由和理據，我相信司法機構會認真跟進。
If other reasons are involved as the former Chief Justice once remarked as long as there are details justifications and rationale I believe that follow - up actions will be duly taken by the Judiciary
律政司將利用法律科技基金發展"香港法律雲端"，並擬委託屬法律及爭議解決專業服務界的獨立第三方負責管理，資助香港法律及爭議解決專業服務界初期使用香港法律雲端服務的費用。
With funding support from the LawTech Fund DoJ will work on developing the Hong Kong Legal Cloud which will be operated by an independent third party in the legal and dispute resolution services sector commissioned by DoJ . In addition DoJ will subsidize the initial usage of the Hong Kong Legal Cloud by the sector
有議員亦提到粵港澳大灣區發展的機遇。
A number of Members mentioned the opportunities derived from the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA development
香港是國家境內唯一實行普通法的司法管轄區。
Hong Kong is the only common law jurisdiction within the country
在"一國、兩制、三法域"下，香港獨立健全的法制，能為大灣區的企業提供多元化的服務。
Under one country two systems three jurisdictions and with its independent and sound judicial system Hong Kong can offer diversified legal services to enterprises in GBA
另外，2020年8月通過的《深圳經濟特區前海深港現代服務業合作區條例》容許在大灣區的港資企業在沒有"涉外因素"的情況下，可選用香港法律作為合同的適用法律。
The Regulations of the Qianhai Shenzhen - Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone approved in August 2020 allows wholly owned Hong Kong enterprises WOKE in GBA in the absence of any foreign - related elements to choose the law of Hong Kong as the applicable law to contracts
這項"先行先試"措施是一項重大突破。
This early and pilot implementation measure is a major breakthrough
律政司正繼續積極尋求中央支持，爭取在大灣區實施"港資港法"，讓港資企業可以選擇其熟悉的香港法律進行交易。
DoJ is continuously and actively seeking the support of the Central Government in allowing WOKE to adopt Hong Kong laws in GBA . This will offer WOKE the option of dealing under the law of Hong Kong which they are familiar with
以上這些安排，都是中央對香港的支持，標誌着《基本法》和"一國兩制"為香港所帶來的獨特地位和優勢，大大加強香港作為促成交易和解決爭議中心的地位。
These arrangements are a manifestation of the support we receive from the Central Authorities as well as the unique position and advantages enjoyed by Hong Kong under the Basic Law and one country two systems . They have also greatly enhanced Hong Kongs position as a deal - making and dispute resolution hub
律政司亦一直與國際機構保持緊密合作，並為培育法律人才持續提供培訓機會，包括借調至國際機構的安排。
DoJ has also collaborated closely with international organizations to cultivate legal talents through the continuous provision of training opportunities including secondment arrangements with international organizations
繼去年12月與海牙國際私法會議簽署法律專業人員借調計劃諒解備忘錄後，計劃將於明天正式展開招募。
In December last year a memorandum of understanding was signed for legal professionals to be seconded to the Hague Conference on Private International Law . Recruitment for the scheme will officially launch tomorrow
律政司亦已成功爭取在港主辦多個政府間的國際大型會議，例如亞洲非洲法律協商組織年會，因為去年的疫情，延至今年舉行。
In addition DoJ has successfully secured a number of large - scale international conferences to be held in Hong Kong such as the annual session of the Asian - African Legal Consultative Organization which has been postponed to this year due to the epidemic
代理主席，《憲法》和《基本法》是香港特區的憲制基礎，特區政府會繼續堅定不移地依據《憲法》和《基本法》全面貫徹落實"一國兩制"方針。
Deputy President the Constitution and the Basic Law form the constitutional basis of HKSAR . The SAR Government will continue its unwavering efforts to fully implement the one country two systems policy in accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law
正如代理主席指出，確保中央全面管治權及香港特區高度自治權共同實施，才可讓香港回歸"一國兩制"的初心，讓"一國兩制"行穩致遠。
As rightly pointed out by the Deputy President both the Central Authorities overall jurisdiction and the high degree of autonomy in Hong Kong are conducive to bringing one country two systems in Hong Kong back to its original intent and ensuring its smooth sailing
律政司將繼續履行其憲制職能，並透過多方面的政策措施，以致力維護香港的法治和司法獨立的核心價值。
DoJ will continue to perform its constitutional duties and strive to preserve the rule of law and the independence of the Judiciary as the core values of Hong Kong by implementing various initiatives
我們細心聆聽了議員的意見和期望，會積極作出適當的跟進。
We have listened carefully to the views and expectations of Members and will actively take follow - up actions as necessary
希望議員可繼續支持律政司的政策措施，與我們攜手推動"法治公義，普惠共享"。
We hope Members can continue to support DoJs policies and join hands with us in promoting the rule of law and justice for all
多謝代理主席及各位議員。
Thank you Deputy President and Members
代理主席，首先我要感謝議員的發言及給予政府的意見。
Deputy President first of all I thank Members for their speeches and views to the Government
就維護國家安全的重要性，我們自2019年6月後的經歷已讓我 們深切體會和明白。
Our experiences since June 2019 have given us a deep understanding and awareness of the importance of safeguarding national security
2019年6月開始，香港出現大量鼓吹"港獨"及暴力破壞的違法行為。
Since June 2019 there have been a lot of law - breaking acts in Hong Kong advocating Hong Kong independence and violent destruction
暴徒大肆堵路、肆無忌憚破壞商店及公共設施、投擲大量汽油彈。
Rioters extensively blocked roads wantonly vandalized shops and public facilities and hurled a huge number of petrol bombs
暴徒投擲超過5,000枚汽油彈，而警方搜獲的，亦超過1萬枚汽油彈。
While rioters had hurled more than 5 000 petrol bombs the Police had also seized over 10 000 petrol bombs
有22,000平方米的行人路磚頭被掘起，足以鋪滿48個籃球場，被拆的馬路欄杆長約60公里，等於136幢國金二期的高度。
Pavement bricks covering an area of 22 000 sq m had been dug up enough for paving 48 basketball courts . About 60 km of road railings had been torn down which are equivalent to the total height of 136 Two International Finance Centre
暴徒更將持不同意見的市民野蠻毆打、綁起，甚至非法禁錮。
Moreover the rioters had savagely assaulted tied up and even falsely imprisoned people holding different views from theirs
暴徒向一名市民放火燃燒，造成其身體嚴重受傷；更有一名70歲的清潔工人遭暴徒用磚擲中頭部而死亡。
While a member of the public was seriously injured after being set ablaze by rioters a 70 year - old cleaning worker was hit in his head by a brick hurled by rioters and subsequently died
《香港國安法》於去年6月30日實施後，產生了震懾作用，扭轉了社會嚴重暴力的亂局，鼓吹"港獨"的行為大大減少。
The introduction of the National Security Law on 30 June last year produced a shock - and - awe effect . The chaotic situation of serious violence in society has been reversed and acts to advocate Hong Kong independence has reduced substantially
大家都感受到很正面的改變，街頭的暴力大大減退，破壞秩序和社會安寧的行為也大量減低。
We can all feel the very positive changes street violence has been greatly reduced and acts that disrupt public order and social peace have also been significantly reduced
市民不再需要擔心馬路突然被嚴重堵塞、地鐵被打爛、公共設施及商鋪被大肆破壞、暴徒擲汽油彈或縱火，又或者自己無辜地被暴徒暴力襲擊，香港大致恢復平靜，社會回復正常，經濟和民生，除了因疫情原因外，可以重新發展。
Members of the public no longer have to worry about roads being seriously blocked suddenly MTR stations being smashed public facilities and shops being extensively vandalized rioters hurling petrol bombs or committing arson or themselves being brutally attacked by rioters for no reason . Hong Kong has by and large restored tranquility . Society has resumed normal operation
市民的合法權利和自由得到保障。
Peoples legitimate rights and freedom are protected
在過去的時間，我看到有一些有關暴亂的案件於法庭審訊，作出了阻嚇性和指導性的裁決。
In the past period of time I noticed that the court have tried some cases relating to the riots and judgments with deterrent and guiding effects have been handed down
目前最高的刑罰是一宗因暴動和相關罪行的案件，暴徒被判監禁5年半。
The highest penalty imposed so far was a case of riot and related offences whereby the rioter concerned was sentenced to imprisonment for five and a half years
除了其他不同的監禁刑期以外，其他刑罰包括判入更生中心、勞教中心、戒毒所及感化令等。
Apart from the different imprisonment terms there were other forms of penalty which include sentencing to rehabilitation centres detention centres drug addiction treatment centres and probation orders
涉及刑事毀壞的罪犯，亦有被判罰賠償最高23萬元。
Offenders charged with criminal damage were sentenced to pay the highest compensation of 230,000
自從《香港國安法》頒布實施，政府積極落實維護國家安全的法律制度及執行機制。
Since the promulgation of the National Security Law the Government has been proactively implementing the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security
由行政長官擔任主席的維護國家安全委員會於2020年7月3日成立。
The Committee for Safeguarding National Security chaired by the Chief Executive was established on 3 July 2020
香港警務處亦已即時設立國家安全處專責執行《香港國安法》。
The Hong Kong Police Force also set up a National Security Department immediately with dedicated responsibility for enforcing the National Security Law
《香港國安法》的實施對"港獨"、勾結外部勢力等危害國家安全的活躍分子有很大的震懾作用，將危害國家安全及暴力行為的風險大大減低。
The implementation of the National Security Law has a tremendous shock - and - awe effect on activists who advocate Hong Kong independence and collude with foreign forces to endanger national security thereby greatly reducing the risks of violent acts and acts that endanger national security
例如，在《香港國安法》實施5個月後，因為遊行示威帶來的破壞性罪行的被捕人數跌了五成。
For instance after implementing the National Security Law for five months the number of persons arrested for destructive offences arising from processions and demonstrations has dropped by 50 %
此外，很多公開支持"港獨"、勾結外國和境外勢力及鼓吹使用暴力的人紛紛自我所謂"退場"，亦有相關組織停止運作或解散。
Moreover many people who openly supported Hong Kong independence colluded with foreign and external forces and advocated the use of violence have left the scene on their own accord one after another whereas some relevant groups have ceased operation or dissolved
《香港國安法》讓香港由亂變治，確保"一國兩制"行穩致遠，確保香港長遠繁榮穩定。
The National Security Law has stopped chaos and restored order in Hong Kong thereby ensuring the smooth and continuous implementation of one country two systems and the long - term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong
但是，未來仍然有很多挑戰，社會經歷過一年多的暴亂，守法意識崩潰，令過往良好的治安和法治基礎受到衝擊。
Nonetheless there are still many challenges ahead . After more than a year of riots in society peoples law - abiding awareness has collapsed . The good law and order and the cornerstone of the rule of law in the past have been challenged
雖然現時社會大致上回復正常運作，但因為過去的暴動和暴徒的行為，嚴重破壞了社會多年建立的互信、尊重和守法的社會文化。
Although normal operation is now largely resumed in society the riots and acts of rioters in the past have seriously damaged mutual trust respect and law - abiding awareness built up in society over the years
警方會繼續努力維護法紀，亦會努力與各界溝通，與市民建立關係，通過接觸和互動等不同的活動，共同打擊罪案、抗毒等。
The Police will continue to make efforts to uphold the rule of law and communicate with various sectors to establish a relationship with members of the public so as to jointly fight crimes and drugs through different interactive activities
但同樣重要的是社會建立共同意識，共建正確價值觀、守法、互相尊重和守望相助的意識和社會文化，讓大家特別是年輕人了解，無論各自目的為何，都不能夠挑戰法律，犯法必然會負上法律責任。
Nevertheless it is equally important for society to build common awareness establish proper values as well as develop the awareness and social culture of law - abiding mutual respect and mutual support so that people in particular youngsters will understand that no one can flout the law regardless of his objectives and whoever breaks the law will definitely have to bear legal responsibility
《香港國安法》的目的是防範、制止和懲治危害國家安全的行為和活動，打擊極少數危害國家安全的人，保護絕大多數市民。
The purpose of the National Security Law is to prevent suppress and punish acts and activities endangering national security . It targets the small minority of people who jeopardize national security while the overwhelming majority of members of the public will be protected
因此，除了執法之外，亦要重視防範和制止。
Therefore in addition to law enforcement we also have to attach importance to prevention and suppression
