Military Commission

A Military Commission is a type of military court set up to try individuals, often non-combatants or foreign nationals, for offenses related to war or terrorism. Unlike a court-martial, which deals with military personnel accused of crimes under military law, a Military Commission can handle cases involving unlawful enemy combatants or violations of the laws of war. These commissions operate under different rules than civilian courts, reflecting the unique circumstances of military operations. They aim to balance national security interests with the rights of the accused while ensuring justice is served in matters of military conflict.
