The
Jerusalem Post reports:
Brig. Gen.
Orli Markman was officially appointed president of the IDF Military Court of Appeals and promoted to Maj. Gen. by Defense Minister
Benny Gantz and Chief of Staff
Aviv Kohavi, and Col.
Maya Goldschmidt was appointed a judge at the Military Court of Appeals, could not help but exclaim "At long last."
Meanwhile, here in Canada, we are fast approaching the 2-year anniversary of the date our last Chief Military Judge retired, and we are still waiting for the Governor in Council to designate a new Chief Military Judge.
ReplyDeleteI am confident they will get around to it one of these years.
It's very strange how countries leave vacancies on their military courts. Examples include South Africa, which had a major hiatus, and India, where there have been multiple vacancies on the Armed Forces Tribunal. Are these jobs not attractive? Is military justice such a low priority?
