text: the validity of such an order would not of itself operate as a stay of execution. However, in view of the absence of any transport service by air and the great infrequency of passenger transport by sea, the problem does not in fact arise as a practical issue. If it were necessary to obtain a stay of execution pending the determination by a superior court of the validity of the Governor's order, the court would have jurisdiction to grant an injunction preventing the removal of the alien concerned from the Islands pending the final determination of the proceedings before the court. Article 14 22. It was explained in the United Kingdom's first report on its dependent territories that it is not normally possible to assign professional legal aid to an accused person as there are no practising lawyers in the Islands or within a reasonable distance. In the event of a criminal trial of any serious consequence, the appearance of competent qualified counsel to conduct both the prosecution and the defence would be secured by the administration by arrangement with the Government of the United Kingdom. Article 17 23. At the meeting to discuss the United Kingdom's second report on its dependent territories, it was asked what kind of personal data could be stored in computers and who could hold such information (CCPR/C/SR.857, para. 31). The existing legal system does not permit the intrusion of the State or any third party upon the privacy of any individual. There are no legislative provisions for the gathering and retention of personal information and data respecting the inhabitants of Pitcairn. Such personal information as may be held by any office or department of the administration is by the rules of the Civil Service regarded as strictly inviolate and never to be released to any 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing the legal system and human rights in the Pitcairn Islands, specifically addressing issues related to the treatment of aliens, legal aid, privacy, and data storage. While there may be some tangential references to practical issues such as transport and communication, the primary focus is on the legal and human rights aspects of life in the Islands.
