At the time, there were serious deficiencies in the military justice system and improvements in oversight, transparency and the effectiveness of the military police's activities were needed.... Commanders had both disciplinary powers and judicial powers. Moreover, they could serve arrest warrants and search warrants, launch investigations, dismiss accusations of disciplinary or criminal offences and sit in judgment of most military police members. With the new amendments, the commander's powers have been somewhat curtailed. 1, record 3, English, - disciplinary%20power

Parallèlement, la doctrine dite de la diligence voulue (l'obligation pour l'État de protéger et de promouvoir les droits et libertés) était le plus souvent interprétée comme l'obligation pour l'État de se «sanctionner lui-même». Les agents de l'État (police, forces de sécurité, forces armées) étaient tenus d'agir conformément aux normes de protection des droits humains, et les institutions (appareil judiciaire, organes législatifs, ministères) devaient être établies et administrées en vertu des mêmes principes. 1, record 6, French, - doctrine%20dite%20de%20la%20diligence%20voulue
