At the Safety and Security Conference 2026, organised by Maldives Association of Fire, Safety & Security Industry our Partner Ahmed Naufal shared practical legal considerations for operators following a serious incident, focusing on evidence preservation, documentation, and victim support.
The discussions with resort security chiefs also highlighted a broader issue: while operators can take practical steps to manage legal risk today, a stronger statutory framework is essential to support security professionals in carrying out their responsibilities effectively.
A Private Security Act can provide that foundation. Any future legislation should draw from international best practices while being tailored to the Maldives’ unique geography and tourism industry.
At Juris Advocates and Consultancy LLP, we remain committed to contributing to discussions that strengthen legal frameworks and support the realities of businesses operating in the Maldives.
