1. it normally takes years before a decision is made. but we will request that the complaint be expedited. that's why we think 文宣 is really important after we have submitted the master complaint to the HRC
2. really good point. we know that UN is quite useless but UNHRC is different coz it is the org that directly "manages" the ICCPR. If it works out (hopefully), it would be a powerful declaration by the ICCPR body itself that popo indeed VIOLATES the treaty- hence creating immense pressure on the HK Gov. And as far as we know, there has yet been any complaints submitted to the Committee.
3. filing of individual complaints do not require legal representation/ lawyers coz it's not a court; and the purpose of its establishment is to help individuals to seek remedies on the international level.
