`
`
`In Hong Kong, consular officers may take voluntary depositions of U.S.
`citizen witnesses without prior permission from Hong Kong authorities,
`provided no compulsion is used. If the services of a U.S. consular officer
`are required to administer an oath to the witness, interpreter and
`stenographer, such arrangements must be made in advance with the U.S.
`Consulate General directly. Consistent with Hong Kong’s declarations and
`reservations regarding the Hague Evidence Convention , consular
`officers are prohibited from taking voluntary depositions of non-U.S.
`citizen witnesses. As an alternative, if prior permission is granted by Hong
`Kong’s Competent Authority , voluntary depositions may be conducted by
`commissioners in Hong Kong regardless of the nationality of the witness,
`provided no compulsion is used.
