THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL AND MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE MALDIVES
Abstract
Members of the Maldivian military are entitled to fair trials as a fundamental constitutional right. Due to this, the Maldives constitution, human rights law, and the Maldives court system recognize the necessity for fair trials for everyone. Despite this, Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) faces several serious Justice and fair trial gaps. This study aims to assess the way MNDF treats these rights to defend the military justice system. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the consequences of weakening or destroying the legitimacy of these human rights may affect the well-being of the Maldivian Army in maintaining good order. The term 'military justice' is used in this context; it refers to the conspicuous mechanism established to prosecute all military offenses. In order to maintain good order and Discipline, the military has sabotaged fundamental rights. Therefore, several cases that the armed forces have filed have been nullified by the civil justice system. Consequently, the existing military justice system in the Maldives has become ineffective. These differences necessitate the implementation of proactive strategies in compliance with international norms and constitutional standards.
