Former Canadian Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin extended her appointment with a Singapore court before resigning from Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal, citing a desire to spend more time with family. McLachlin's departure comes after other overseas judges announced their resignations. The presence of international judges on the court has historically added credibility, but an NGO called for their resignation, claiming it legitimizes Beijing's crackdown. McLachlin did not respond to requests for comment, but previously praised the Hong Kong court for protecting rights. #HongKong #RuleOfLaw #Judiciary...
