Military tribunals are special courts established by the military to try individuals for offenses related to military law or national security. These tribunals operate outside the regular civilian court system and are often used in cases involving terrorism, espionage, or war crimes. The procedures and rules in military tribunals can differ significantly from those in civilian courts. Defendants in military tribunals may not have the same rights as those in civilian trials, such as the right to a jury. The outcomes can include imprisonment, fines, or even the death penalty, depending on the severity of the charges. Military tribunals have been a topic of debate, especially regarding their fairness and transparency.
