A national security policy for Malta

Abstract

The Commission on National Security appointed by the Leader of the Opposition has prepared a report entitled Is-Sigurta' Ta' Malta (National Security) and submitted it to the MLP leader on 15 March. The media have already covered the press conference given by the chairman and members of the commission during which this report was launched. Since then few indeed have been the non-partisan contributions made by members of the public on its contents. Recently, I have had the opportunity to read the report in question. In this short article, I would like to add some further points on the issue of national security from a legal perspective hoping to contribute towards a healthy discussion by your readers on the subject under review.
