Disagreement on Administrative Arrest of Militaries Bill: Popular Defender

Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr. К.Zarbaliyeva / There is disagreement on 'Administrative arrest of militaries' bill.

Specialists exclude adoption of the bill in the current situation. They consider transfer of arrest of military chiefs to Margin courts may cause serious problems, Zahid Oruj, the popular defender and member of the Permanent Parliamentary commission on Security and Security Issues, said to the Trend Agency on 8 October.

It is impossible for militaries to come to courts on administrative arrests leaving military units without control. It will be the waste of time.

The bill will be considered during the autumn session of the Azerbaijani Parliament, Oruj said.

Administrative arrests of militaries should be delivered to courts for consideration. Such cases should not be regulated by internal regulations but by special bills. The military expert and colonel lieutenant, Uzeir Jafarov, said the bill would cause some problems.

A special mechanism is necessary for the bill in order to establish normal relations between military units and courts.

Courts detain militaries in countries which are in state of war, and such a bill does not cause serious problems.

If arrest of militaries to be considered by courts it will prevent break of bills.

Azerbaijan passed the article on the issue during the ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights and Freedom in 2001.

Punishment is implemented by commander of military units in compliance with the internal Regulation of Armed Forces.
