Summary:
The attached document, a chart entitled “Comparison of Selected Procedural Rights in
Criminal Tribunals,” is provided in response to your request for a new version of the chart
from CRS Report RL31600, The Department of Defense Rules for Military Commissions:
Analysis of Procedural Rules and Comparison with Proposed Legislation and the Uniform
Code of Military Justice. In addition to columns comparing the rules for courts-martial and
for military commissions as presently established by the Department of Defense Military
Commission Order No. 1, the chart provides information regarding the procedural rules in
selected international tribunals. These include the International Military Tribunal (IMT)
established by the Allies to try European Axis war crimes after World War II, as well as the
more recent “ad hoc” tribunals established by the United Nations Security Council to try war
crimes that occurred during the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
