Article Summary:
How to Implement Security Laws – editorial
Immediately after their endorsement, laws must be fully implemented and followed up. One example is the law recently adopted to regulate the possession and carrying of firearms. The Ministry of Interior must closely monitor the implementation of this law and make sure that it is respected by all citizens, no matter how senior they are.
The media has an important role to play in this regard in raising public awareness and drawing the relevant organs’ attention to any shortcomings and violations.
