HKBORO s.11 covers immigration legislation governing entry, stay and departure including conditions of stay related to employment so appellants cannot invoke BOR/ICCPR to challenge the employment restriction; the UK reservation/notification to ICESCR article 6 modifies the ICESCR6 right so it does not secure a domestic right to work for non-permanent residents in Hong Kong; Basic Law article 33 does not confer an unqualified right to take up available employment for persons without resident status; accordingly the appeals are dismissed.
