“…Before the military code of justice was reformed in 2014, soldiers could only be tried in military tribunals for human rights violations against civilians. This system contributed to executive abuse because there was no civilian review mechanism and no independence between the executive and judicial sides of the military, as both report to the head of the ministry—whether SEDENA or SEMAR (Góngora, 2015). Not surprisingly, the United Nations considered military personnel to be virtually immune from civilian justice due to the protection afforded by the military justice system (Lindau, 2011, p. 188).…”

What is the relationship between violent crime and the expansion of executive power? Whereas the literature on crises and executive power has focused on the centralization of authority resulting from the war on terror, the role played by other forms of crises short of interstate war has been neglected, especially in the developing world. This article argues that public safety crises have enabled executives to expand their power at the expense of other branches of government, levels of government, and protections against government abuse. It does so with examples from Latin America, where violent crime has become an important concern in many countries, highlighting the adoption of states of exception and the militarization of public life as avenues for the expansion of presidential power. It also provides in‐depth, longitudinal evidence from the Mexican case to show the adoption of these measures over time and their consequences for democracy.

La justicia penal militar se encuentra en los diez países del continente suramericano; si bien en cada nación la forma de estructurar esta es diferente, también es cierto que, desde punta gallinas hasta el cabo de hornos, todos los uniformados tienen una jurisdicción especializada que los investiga y sanciona en caso de cometer delitos que estén relacionados con el servicio. En algunos países como Colombia y Perú, la Justicia Penal Militar vincula a los policías, pero en la mayoría de las naciones son solo los miembros de los Ejércitos, Armadas y Fuerzas Aéreas los que están cobijados por este sistema. Si bien todos y cada uno de los países suramericanos tienen altas cortes de cierre, en la mayoría de estos (exceptuando Colombia), los delitos de traición a la patria tienen sanción de pena de muerte, que también debe ser comunicada por el presidente de la república.
