Revolutionary Tribunals

Revolutionary tribunals are specialized courts established during times of political upheaval to quickly judge individuals deemed a threat to the revolution or the new regime. Unlike regular courts, they often lack standard legal procedures and due process, focusing on swift punishment to reinforce revolutionary goals. These tribunals are typically associated with authoritarian contexts, where they can be used to suppress dissent, often resulting in harsh sentences or executions. Their purpose is to maintain revolutionary order, but they also raise concerns about justice and individual rights due to their expedited and often opaque processes.
