Abstract | Macau SAR enjoys a unique and challenging status. Anchored in the “One Country, Two Systems” formula, guaranteed by the Joint Declaration, an international treaty, stating that after the establishment of the SAR, the laws, decree laws, and administrative regulations in Macau shall be maintained. The legal system receives a continuity guarantee, not as an untouchable set of pieces of legislation, but as a whole, its spirit, its principles. It was mostly imported from Portugal, or strongly influenced by it, and it showcases a guarantee of Law as Law proper and a legal system with Rule of Law. Lately, in a context of increasing pressure on the SAR’s autonomy, this continuity and linkage to Portuguese Law has been subjected to challenges. What will the road ahead be?. |
