Description
I INTRODUCTION The academic study of military law within the United Kingdom, with its emphasis on military justice, has few adherents and disciples. This contrasts sharply with the flourishing status of the law of armed conflict (or international humanitarian law) within university law schools. No doubt a major reason for the limited university appeal of military law, as understood in the narrow sense of military justice and military 'employment' law, is due to its small constituency. The size of the all-volunteer armed forces in the United Kingdom and the numbers of those civilians abroad accompanying the military on postings, and who are subject to the reach of military law, have been falling steadily over the past decades. Moreover where 'victims' of breaches of military law are themselves civilians, the penal law applicable in those cases is likely to be the ordinary civilian criminal law rather than specialist military offences even if proceedings were to take place before military courts.
