After more than 150 years of British rule, Hong Kong was returned to Chinese control. Britain had held the New Territories north of Hong Kong under a 99-year lease that expired in 1997, requiring the 'handing back' of the colony to China.
Under the 'One Country, Two Systems' policy, Hong Kong retained its own legal system, currency, customs policy and immigration laws for a minimum 50 years after the handover.
The Northern Territory in Australia became the first jurisdiction in the world to legalise voluntary euthanasia, marking a significant milestone in medical ethics and end-of-life legislation.
