Efforts are afoot in Fiji to modernize the island country's outdated military justice legislation, as reported
here. Global Military Justice Reform contributor
Chris Griggs is heading a team of experts from New Zealand who will assist in the process. He comments:
"The military justice system in Fiji is like a car. At the moment you;ve got a very old car. Then you'll try to fix the car and eventually the car is beyond repair."
At present, the Republic of Fiji Military Forces are subject to the UK Army Act 1955 and the Queen's Regulations 1972. The new system will be "state of the art" and geared to Fiji's specific circumstances.
