All Military and Tribunal Courts

Military and Tribunal Courts gathers the courts of first instance that try offenses under military law and military discipline rather than the ordinary civil or criminal law that governs civilians: Canada's courts martial, Thailand's military courts, and a military special court represented elsewhere in this subcategory's live data. Distinct from a national criminal court, a military court's jurisdiction typically extends only to members of the armed forces and offenses connected to military service, tried under a separate code of military justice.
