Regeling van de inrichting, de organisatie en het beheer van de openbare ministeries van Curaçao, van Sint Maarten en van Bonaire, Sint Eustatius en Saba en de samenwerking daartussen (Rijkswet openbare ministeries van Curaçao, van Sint Maarten en van Bonaire, Sint Eustatius en Saba)
This Dutch national law (Rijkswet) sets out how the public prosecution services of Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and the Caribbean Netherlands islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are organised and managed, and how they cooperate with one another. It covers the structure of the prosecution offices, their internal governance, and the framework for joint working between the islands. Based on the title alone, it appears to modernise or consolidate the rules governing criminal prosecution across the Kingdom's Caribbean territories. The law mainly affects prosecutors, the justice systems of the three constituent territories and the Caribbean Netherlands, and residents who rely on criminal justice in these islands. Because the law is a Rijkswet, it applies across the Kingdom and requires approval from the Dutch parliament. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
