It is our undoubted duty to voice our concern over laws, judicial decisions and events which may serve to undermine the Rule of Law in Malta as well as abroad. As we go to press however, it becomes apparent that lack of space prevents us from here dwelling at length on the implications of the events of the past few months and that a proper discussion of the present predicament of the Rule of Law in Malta must be reserved to a future edition of our journal.

In other words any statute purporting to regulate the investigation of crimes should reflect a balance between the powers necessary for police officers to fulfill their duties and the protection of a person's civil and political rights.

Abstract: Interest in the relationship between law and technology has been growing steadily (albeit slowly) over recent years. This is perhaps inevitable in a society which is increasingly dependent on novel and constantly evolving technologies which are absorbed at an incredibly fast rate into our every-day life Sun, 01 Jan 1984 00:00:00 GMT https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/63449 1984-01-01T00:00:00Z
