National Changhua University's Prof. Liu Chao-lung writes:
. . . [H]uman rights issues should also be taken into account. Cases handled by the new military trial system should be limited to offenses concerning military duties.
Serving military officers contravening the Criminal Code of the Armed Forces, committing crimes such as offenses against allegiance to the nation, would face military trials. However, service members committing general crimes should be handled by the civilian judiciary. Needless to say, military trials should not be applied to civilians.
The restored military trial system should be evidence-based and uphold procedural justice to avoid wrongful cases, which occurred in the absence of these conditions in the past.
