International Historical Models of Military Criminal Law
International Historical Models of Military Criminal Law

Summary/Abstract: Criminal law rules and criminal justice solutions applicable to soldiers, and within that, members of the armed forces and other organizations serving individual states, have developed according to different historical models. The value of these historical examples lies in how the specific criminal law rules applicable to soldiers relate to general criminal law rules and the application of criminal law. The most common approach is for military criminal law to conform to the criminal law rules applicable to everyone, if there are no specific rules for maintaining military order and discipline. Military criminal law is most specific when it is codified to the exclusion of general criminal law norms. After presenting the definition of military criminal law, this study aims to show the reader examples of the application of military criminal law in the legal systems of different countries.
