Military Courts of Kazakhstan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Military Courts of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасының әскери соты, romanized: tr, lit. 'Qazaqstan Respwblïkasınıñ äskerï sotı'; Russian: Военного суда Республики Казахстан, romanized: tr, lit. 'Voyennogo suda Respubliki Kazakhstan') are the specialized courts of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan that deal with criminal cases concerning military personnel and the civilian personnel of the Ministry of Defence. The military courts are part of the judiciary of Kazakhstan.[1] It is often noted as a common criticism that military courts generally have more connection to the government than other courts by virtue of going through the military hierarchy, which has been seen as a threat to judicial independence.[2] Military courts consider civil cases by active servicemen or citizens who undergo military training against their will, among other things.[3]
