Occupy Central () is a civil disobedience campaign initiated by Benny Tai Yiu-ting, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Hong Kong, and advocated by Occupy Central with Love and Peace (organisation; OCLP; 讓愛與和平佔領中環 or 和平佔中). In the course of the 2014 Hong Kong electoral reform, OCLP intends to pressure the PRC Government into granting an electoral system which "satisf() the international standards in relation to universal suffrage" in Hong Kong Chief Executive election in 2017 as promised according to the Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OCLP Manifesto )〕 Should such an electoral system not be achieved, OCLP sought to fight for equal suffrage in Hong Kong through civil disobedience means, namely the non-violent occupation of Central. In 2013 and 2014, OCLP organised three sessions for deliberation and a civic referendum on the voting system to use for the election of the chief executive in 2017. It then submitted to the government the proposal that citizens selected in the referendum. As a response to Beijing's rejection of the proposal, OCLP originally planned to launch the protest campaign on 1 October 2014, the National Day of the People's Republic of China.〔 Branigan, Tania (31 August 2014). ("Hong Kong activists vow to take over financial centre in election protest" ), ''The Guardian''.〕 However, OCLP announced the commencement of Occupy Central on 28 September, in the midst of the heated week-long class boycott〔("Hong Kong students begin democracy protest" ), ''The Guardian'', 22 September 2014〕 organised by Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS) and Scholarism. The student strikes developed into a wave of demonstrations, which led to civil disobedience and an occupy movement of unprecedented scale. The protests gradually developed into a non-centralised occupy movement spreading to several areas of Hong Kong that was largely organised by volunteers.〔BBC News ("Hong Kong: Tear gas and clashes at democracy protest" ), 28 September 2014〕 OCLP stated that the ongoing protest "() the Umbrella Movement, not 'Occupy Central'" and referred to themselves as supporters rather than the organisers of the protest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=戴耀廷：現是雨傘運動非佔中 )〕 OCLP was disbanded by the founders when they surrendered to the police in December 2014.〔http://harbourtimes.com/openpublish/article/hong-kong-nationalism-student-editors-not-advocating-independence-its-option-20150120〕 ==Background== (詳細はHong Kong government and Beijing for the full implementation of universal suffrage as indicated in the Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45, which delineates the requirements for electing the chief executive. Article 45 and Annex I of the Basic Law govern the election of the chief executive by universal suffrage: In December 2007, the National People's Congress Law Committee officially ruled on the issue of universal suffrage in Hong Kong:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on Issues Relating to the Methods For Selecting The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region And For Forming The Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the Year 2012 And on Issues Relating To Universal Suffrage (Adopted by the Standing Committee of the Tenth National People's Congress at Its Thirty-First Session on 29 December 2007) )〕 The ''Asia Times'' wrote in 2008 that both proposals for the Legislative Council (LegCo) and for the chief executive were "hedged in with so many ifs and buts that there is no guarantee of Hong Kong getting anything at all... "〔"〕 CY Leung, the incumbent chief executive of Hong Kong, was to submit the local government's recommendation to Beijing on how to proceed with democratisation in the territory following consultations. a round of consultations had recently ended, and another round of consultations was to take place in the second half of the year.〔Shankar, Sneha (1 July 2014). ("Hong Kong Democracy Protests Begin With Thousands Gathered At Victoria Park To Oppose Chinese Control" ). ''International Business Times''.〕 Chinese political leaders have since repeatedly declared that the chief executive, who is to be elected by universal suffrage in 2017, "must conform to the standard of loving the country and loving Hong Kong".〔Buckley, Chris (25 April 2014). (Chinese Vice President Warns Hong Kong Over Protests" ). ''The New York Times''.〕 To that end, the government of Hong Kong, strongly backed by Beijing, reiterated that CE nominees be screened by a "broadly representative nominating committee", and that there would be no provision for civic nominations.〔 The position was reaffirmed in a State Council white paper from June 2014.〔Xinhua (10 June 2014) ("Full Text: The Practice of the "One Country, Two Systems" Policy in the HKSAR" ).
