January 14 will mark, amazingly, the 11th anniversary of Global Military Justice Reform. The Editor will spare readers the data this time around. Suffice it to say that the blog is read around the world. The posts keep going up, with smart offerings from our many contributors. Heartfelt thanks to them, co-editor Rory Fowler, and everyone who has commented (well, not those who pester the newsroom with spam and anonymous comments).
Thanks to each and every one of you. Keep the posts and comments coming. Please recommend Global Military Justice Reform to friends, colleagues, in-laws -- anyone who may have an interest.
Things to watch for this year:
- Decisions in Uganda and Pakistan on the permissibility of trying civilians in courts-martial
- Third International Military Justice Forum in Paris
- DoD and congressional response to December 2024 Comprehensive Review and Assessment of the UCMJ from the Military Justice Review Panel
- Further appellate review of the disputed plea bargains in the 9/11 Military Commission at Guantánamo
- U.S. Supreme Court action on the Wheeler certiorari petition challenging the constitutionality of the "short-martial"
- Continued litigation of the constitutionality of subjecting U.S. military retirees to trial by court-martial
- Military justice initiatives from the incoming Trump administration
- Parliamentary response to the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in R. v. Edwards
