BEIJING, CHINA OLYMPICS 2008. . . . . . . A panel of lawyers submitted a comprehensive legal framework concerning the Olympic Games to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Organizing Committee on October 25,2004. The framework proposes that Beijing residents or any legal entity whose interests are impaired during the Games should be compensated financially. According to the documents, such interests include the interruptions to traffic and business caused by the Games.  It may herald a sea of change in attitudes towards individual rights protection because it is popular wisdom in this country that national glory or collective interests often take precedence over individual interests or rights. If the compensation clause is finally written into the basic law of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, it will definitely see an admirable precedent in handling similar matters in the future.
