Freedom from Arbitrary Detention in Asia: Lessons from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong

By Jerome A. Cohen

In 2018 I co-authored an article with my colleague Yu-Jie Chen on "Freedom from Arbitrary Detention in Asia: Lessons from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong" (in Oxford Handbook of Constitutional Law in Asia, David Law, Holning Lau and Alex Schwartz eds., forthcoming). In light of the Hong Kong protests since last June, we have accordingly updated the article and added discussion of police arrests and detention in Hong Kong. The revised article can be downloaded here.

It's good to write about a subject highly relevant to what's going on, but it can also be nightmarish to try to stay up-to-date in a multi-year book project! We hope the Handbook can be published as soon as possible.
