We are also extremely concerned that this action will exacerbate the existing deep divisions in Hong Kong society; the law does nothing to build mutual understanding and foster reconciliation within Hong Kong. Rebuilding trust across Hong Kong society by allowing the people of Hong Kong to enjoy the rights and freedoms they were promised can be the only way back from the tensions and unrest that the territory has seen over the last year.
我們非常擔心這項作法將使香港社會目前的深刻對立更加嚴重；這項法律無助香港內部的相互理解與和解。允許香港人民享受他們被承諾享有的權利與自由，並藉此來重建香港社會的互信，這是擺脫過去一年來香港緊張局勢與動亂的唯一途徑。
The world’s focus on a global pandemic requires enhanced trust in governments and international cooperation. Beijing’s unprecedented move risks having the opposite effect.
世界各國對新冠病毒全球大流行的關注，需要對各國政府與國際合作更為信任。北京的空前舉動可能適得其反。
As Hong Kong’s stability and prosperity are jeopardized by the new imposition, we call on the Government of China to work with the Hong Kong SAR Government and the people of Hong Kong to find a mutually acceptable accommodation that will honor China’s international obligations under the UN-filed Sino-British Joint Declaration.
由於香港的穩定與繁榮可能因為實施新法受到損害，我們呼籲中國政府與香港特別行政區政府及香港人民共同努力，尋找可以共同接受的解決之道，履行中國在聯合國登記的《中英聯合聲明》所載明的國際義務。
