Discipline.
1 . Military penal code and military law.
(a) General note.—& Persian Manual of Military Law
was introduced towards the end of 1923. The book
is divided into three main parts:
( 1 ) Formation of Courts Martial.
( 2 ) Elements of Military Courts, containing
details about courts martial.
( 3 ) The Law of Military punishments.
The chief point noticeable about Persian Military
law is the fact that comparatively severe sentences of
imprisonment can be awarded to officers.
Persons subject to Military law —
(a) All officers and men of the land, sea and air
forces of Persia.
(A) Unemployed persons and reservists if the
offence has reference to military service.
(c) Officers and men employed outside the army
if the offence has reference to military
service.
(d) Civilians employed by the army if the
offence relates to military service.
Should a person subject to Military law commit a .
crime the punishment for which is laid down in civil,
but not in Military law, he may be punished in
accordance with the civil law.
Persons offending against civil law are punished in
accordance with that law, but the punishment is
carried out in military custody.
Within the confines of Persia, the Military Tribunal
can try foreigners for offences punishable under mili
tary law and Persian subjects for offences against the
Army.
In enemy country all persons can be tried for
offences with reference to the Army.
