He said the proceedings are meant to strengthen accountability and discipline within the security forces by handling serious crimes, including sexual and gender based offences, while also showing that members of the armed forces are subject to both military and criminal law. He added that the process is part of wider efforts to support justice, protect victims and witnesses, and build public confidence in the rule of law.
