Treason in Maltese law : revisited

Abstract

This Term Paper is meant to survey the law of “treason” under the Maltese Criminal Code and related provisions in the same codification in the light of relevant special legislation. Given that a whole thesis has already been devoted to this topic some thirty years ago and given that there have not been any amendments and given that there is a dearth of cases on the matter, I will be humbly attempting to touch on a number of issues or themes on the subject. In a nutshell I will be treating the subject-matter thematically. Focus will be had on the differences between the notion per se and the notion when it is brought to bear and into effect.
