Cette étude, réalisée par la CIJ aborde le problème du jugement des militaires auteurs de graves violations aux droits de l’homme par la juridiction militaire.
L’étude fait un état des lieux des obligations internationales des Etats en matière d’enquête, poursuite et réparation des graves violations des droits de l’homme ainsi que de la doctrine et de la jurisprudence internationales des droits de l’homme sur la question des tribunaux militaires en ce qui concerne les poursuites contre les militaires et policiers responsables de graves violations aux droits de l’homme (Première partie). L’étude retrace l’évolution et les grandes tendances mondiale en matière de juridiction militaire, notamment dans 30 pays (Deuxième partie).

Racial discrimination remains a pervasive problem in criminal justice systems. While some countries are starting to recognize the deeply rooted nature of the phenomenon and to compile date in order to counter it, there is still little awareness for it in many countries.
Also, Government reports are often incomplete.
In order to give guidance to States on the issue, a General Recommendation by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is timely and useful.
This paper seeks to gather some ideas of recommendations from national reports, reports of the UN Special Rapporteurs and experts, NGO reports and other material. The recommendations are organized according to the different stages of the criminal justice system: police conduct, courts and prisons. It also gives some elements to be taken into account in more structural manner: access to justice, methods of structural, institutional change and data collection.
