Justice & Military Crimes

Military Offense Defense

Which act is considered a crime against military service?

An act provided for by the relevant chapter of the Criminal Code, directed against the order of military service and committed by a servicemember or a reservist during reserve military service; in time of war or martial law liability is determined separately by the legislation of Georgia.

What sanction aggravates violence against a superior?

Beating or other violence against a superior during duty is punished by restriction of service for up to two years or imprisonment of two to four years; by a group, with a weapon or with severe injury — four to eight years. A conflict between non-subordinate servicemembers with humiliation — up to three years, with a grave consequence — four to nine years.

How is evasion of service by deception punished?

Evasion of military service by simulating illness, self-injury, use of a false document or other deception is punished by restriction of service for up to two years or imprisonment for up to one year.

Why does the form of guilt matter in duty-service cases?

A deliberate violation of combat-watch rules with a grave consequence entails imprisonment of four to ten years, whereas the same consequence through negligence or bad faith entails restriction of service for up to two years or imprisonment of up to three years; the correct qualification of the form of guilt therefore changes the sentence several times over.

About this service

The chapter on crimes against military service is one of the most extensive special parts of the Georgian Criminal Code: it unites violations of the rules of relations inside military service, evasion of service, and breaches of duty-service rules. The statutory concept sets the frame: an act provided for by this chapter, directed against the order of military service, committed by a servicemember or by a reservist during reserve military service, is considered a crime against military service; in time of war or martial law, liability for such crimes is determined by the legislation of Georgia. Our advocates analyse these cases in full — from the exact qualification of the composition to the individualisation of the sentence. This page surveys the compositions without dedicated pages; the flagship conducts — disobedience, abandonment of a unit or service place, desertion — have their own services.
