Fairyland Proposall, Maldives, Indian Ocean

The Supreme Court of Maldives is headed by a Chief Justice, who is the head of judiciary. As of 2008 the President had appointed 5 judges, who were approved by the Parliament. The interim court will sit until a new permanent Supreme Court is nominated under the constitution. Underneath the Supreme Court sit a High Court and a Trial court. The constitution requires an odd number of judges in the High Court of Maldives, leading to the current three appointed justices. Verdicts must be reached by a majority, but must also include a minority report.
An appointed Prosecutor General is responsible for initiating court proceedings on behalf of the government, oversees how investigations are being conducted and has a say in criminal prosecutions, duties previously held by the Attorney General. The Prosecutor General has the power to order investigations, monitor detentions, lodge appeals and review existing cases. The Prosecutor General is appointed by the President and has to be approved by the Parliament.
The Maldives, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), wrote the world's first Islamic criminal code. As of 2008 the code awaited action by the parliament.
