military detention

Military detention refers to the process where armed forces hold individuals suspected of crimes or threats related to national security, either during times of conflict or peace. Detainees can be held for investigation, interrogation, or to prevent harm, under specific legal frameworks that differ from civilian law. International laws, such as the Geneva Conventions, govern the treatment of detainees to ensure humane practices. The scope and rights of detainees depend on the legal context, but generally include provisions for fair treatment, access to legal recourse, and protections against torture or mistreatment.
