MILITARY LAW
This is the internal law of the Canadian Armed Forces dealing with discipline of its members.
It is entirely federal in scope by way of the National Defence Act, which sets out the procedural
rules to be employed and acts as a “criminal code” for members of the Forces. Related topics:
CIVIL PROCEDURE, CRIMINAL LAW, CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, HUMAN RIGHTS AND
THE CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
MILITAIRE (DROIT)
Domaine de compétence législative fédérale, le droit militaire couvre une foule de questions va-
riées et complexes : les bases militaires, le statut de l’armée et des soldats, les lois applicables
aux plans civil, criminel, disciplinaire, etc. Faute d’ouvrages abondants sur la question, on se
rappellera que le domaine est abordé en droit CONSTITUTIONNEL. S’agissant de droit public,
on peut compléter en droit anglais. La question du comportement humanitaire en temps de
guerre est réglée dans des conventions internationales (dont celles dites « de Genève ») aux-
quelles le Canada a adhéré.
