Prosecutorial Freedom: Why Hong Kong Needs an Independent Director of Public Prosecutions
In recent years, many common law jurisdictions have recognised the need for the director of public prosecutions to have the control of prosecutions, and for the political master to disengage from the prosecution process. In 2009, the attorney general of England and Wales transferred the bulk of prosecution powers to the DPP, and this provides a model for Hong Kong. The secretary for justice, who reports to the chief executive, is a government minister, appointed by the central authorities, yet he is also the chief prosecutor, which involves a clear conflict of roles. If the secretary disengages from prosecutions in favour of the DPP, this will promote public confidence in the integrity of the criminal justice system, and align Hong Kong with international trends.

The speaker Professor Ian Grenville Cross SBS, QC, SC is the Vice-Chairman of the Senate of the International Association of Prosecutors. He was Director of Public Prosecutions of Hong Kong, China, until 2009.
