Military Courts and the Military Court of
Appeals
Offenses committed by military persons, criminal acts which
are of a military nature and offenses that are related to
military service or are committed against military personnel
or in military premises are tried by military Courts, and
by the higher military court which is the Military Court
of Appeals.
The establishment, organizational structure, procedures
and personnel of the military courts, the independence of
these tribunals and the safety of military judges are regulated
by laws in a manner appropriate to the needs of military
services and operations.
The Military Court of Appeals is the court of final instance
for all rulings and verdicts rendered by the military courts,
and it is also a court of first and final instance with
jurisdiction over certain military persons, stipulated by
laws, with the responsibility for the specific trials of
these persons. The Military Code of Appeals also ensures
that the rulings of the military courts in their individual
interpretations of the law are consistent.
The members of the Military Court of Appeals are appointed
by the president from among three candidates nominated for
each vacant post by the general assembly of the military
Court of Appeals from among first category military judges.
The appointment of the President of the Military Court
of Appeals, the Chief Prosecutor and the Heads of the Departments
of the Military Court of Appeals is from amongst its members
according to rank and seniority.
