Maldives’ first extensive Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC, Law No. 12/2016) which was introduced in 2016, was amended three times during the NSAP reporting period, between 2019 and 2023. They include the second amendment to the CrPC created by Law No.: 6/2020, third amendment to the CrPC created by Law No.: 21/2020, and the fourth amendment to the CrPC created by Law No.: 21/2022. Maldives’ first extensive Civil Procedure Code [CPC, Law. No.: 32/2021 (16 December 2021)] came into effect on 16 June 2022, which has introduced major changes to the civil justice system of the country. The long-awaited Evidence Act (Law No.: 11/2022) was also enacted in 2022 (18 June 2022) and came into effect on 18 January 2023. Sufficient work on harmonizing laws relating to criminal offences have not been done during the reporting period. Moreover, with the introduction of heavy procedural legislation during the period and the efforts to harmonise newer and older laws and processes, law enforcers and legal practitioners are now identifying multiple instances of conflicting laws which has created bottlenecks in the system and needs urgent attention by the law givers.
