"The military plays an important role in nation-building and national security. Notwithstanding special requirements of military life, the members of the armed forces should enjoy the rights guaranteed in the Constitution and other relevant international human rights treaties which India has ratified to the extent that those rights are available to other citizens of the country. The guarantee of a fair trial should apply to all proceedings under the military legal system, including summary trial and summary systems of court martial. The government must ensure the economic, social, and cultural rights of military personnel including housing, medical care, education, free legal aid and social security. Derogations of the Fundamental Rights under Article 33 should not be carried so far as to create a class of citizens who are not entitled to the benefits of the liberal interpretation of the Constitution. This book is aimed at all those who are involved in promoting, protecting, and enforcing the rights of not only the members of the armed forces, but also the other forces engaged in the security of the country. It will of relevance to parliamentarians, government officials, military authorities and members of the civil society who have a stake in the armed forces."

The earliest completed code of the British army dates back to the 14th century when the “Statutes, Ordinances and Customs” were issued by Richard II to his Army in 1385 on the occasion of war with France. These statutes called “Articles” or “Ordinances of War” were issued under the prerogative power of the Crown. The earlier Articles were of excessive severity prescribing death or loss of limb as punishment for almost every crime. There were thousands of instances of accused native soldiers being blown from a gun on the orders of their commander. As minor punishment, an accused could be branded with hot iron for swearing. He could even be flogged in public or ordered to ride the wooden horse. This book provides an insight into the origin and development of the legal system of the Indian Army from the year 1600 to 1947 including that of the Navy and Air Force. A total of 40 statutes passed by the British Parliament and the Articles of War issued by the Crown for governing the military forces during that period have been included. This book is for military historians, military personnel, military lawyers, academics, journalists, and those with an interest or professional involvement in the subject.

The legal system of the armed forces is evolving and moving towards civilianization, as the Armed Forces Tribunal completes five years of its existence. The laws governing the armed forces are of concern not just to members of the armed forces, but to every Indian. Thus, it is necessary for these laws to be understood and analysed by the legal fraternity, human rights activists, and military and government officials in the correct perspective in order to improve the system. A 'just' and 'fair' system is of great significance to the success or failure of the armed forces. This is the first attempt to deal with the laws relating to the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard in one volume. The basic statutes of these forces as well as the subordinate legislations have been comprehensively analysed. Using famous cases relating to the armed forces, this book examines constitutional and statutory rights and privileges, administrative and minor punishments, step-by-step court martial process, review and revision of punishments, procedure of courts of inquiry, and the jurisdiction and functioning of the Armed Forces Tribunal. It provides an overview of the provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure relating to members of the armed forces. In addition, it analyses the Criminal Court and Court Martial (Adjustment of Jurisdiction) Rules and the provisions of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in detail.

Transformation should lie at the heart of our new approach to defense. The development of transformational capabilities, processes, and force structures should be given strategic focus to meet the principal challenges under our defense strategy. India is already ceased with the necessity of transformation albeit without any documented national security guidelines or operating instructions, which are legislated or have the validation of at least the 'Cabinet Committee on Security'(CCS). In other words the first step would be to create a draft security strategy based on many assumptions, like the foreign policy or the cumulative emerging threat scenario as appreciated by the Defence Intelligence Agency(DIA). This well researched book is a result of the project allotted by the USI under the Field Marshal K. M. Cariappa chair. The book is therefore more as an idea or a theoretical construct, basically to bring in more clarity to the various options available for this great transformation of the Indian military. The author has deliberated upon various landmarks of transformation milestones achieved so far by the three services and given recommendations to further build upon ongoing modernization plan and shift to a higher plane of transformational activities.

This book is an outcome of a two-day international conference convened to discuss the changing notion of human rights from different perspectives. While focusing on the increasing relevance of human rights in an era of globalization, the book analyses the various legal-political, socio-economic, gender, ecological and international dimensions of this issue. From the large number of papers presented at the conference, sixteen articles have been selected for this volume. These are presented in four parts: namely, politico-legal, socio-economic, ecological and gender, and the transnational. The introductory section presents the major issues and concerns highlighted by the editors and carries the keynote address by Professor Yogesh Atal. Written by both young and veteran social scientists, the book presents a unique combination of theoretical and practical studies of human rights in comparative perspectives. The book will attract readership from the academe, human rights activists, and the concerned citizenry, and will be useful to students of law, political science, public administration, and sociology.
