Is Army Justice
American Or Not?
Socially
Speaking
By Mary Alys Voorhees
How would you like to have your hand cut off
by court order? Far fetched? Perhaps.
Most of the males at UNC are subject to mili
tary service. Either they are members of the
Reserves (and hence subject to recall in time
of national emergency) or have their active mili
tary service yet to da Therefore, we males should
have more than a casual academic interest in
matters that vitally affect Armed Forces personnel.
On July 15, 1953 the United States Senate rat
ified the Agreement of Forces of North Atlantic
Treaty, co.nmonly referred to as the Status-of-Forces
Agreement. This treaty gave NATO coun
tries the right to prosecute American service per
sonnel (as well as civilian personnel accompany
ing them) for alleged offenses committed while
off duty. Subsequent treaties have extended the
same right to various other foreign governments.
On the surface this may not reem to involve
any great danger to the safeguards afforded us
by our heritage of constitutional jurisprudence.
But let us stop for a moment and reflect upon
this innocuous-sounding agreement and its effect
upon us as potential soldiers, sailors and airmen.
Foreign courts shall have the right to try
American servicemen for offenses committed while
off duty. That doesn't sound so bad, does it? But
let's see why it might not sound so good to an
American citizen stationed with our Armed Forces
overseas.
Most of us are inclined to take for granted
such constitutional guarantees as trial by jury,
presumption of innocence, assurance against cruel
and unusual punishment, etc. It may even come
as a shock to some to learn that in most Euro
pean countries the burden of proof lies with the
accused, not with the prosecutor, that trial by
jury is a concept almost uniquely confined to
Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence and not highly re
garded by some of our allies and that the penalty
for theft in some countries wherein the Status-of-Forces
Agreement is in effect is the lopping off
of the hand of the offender.
When a man dons the uniform of the Armed
Forces of the United States, he relinquishes some
of the liberties associated with civilian status.
But he does not lose his American citizenship.
Subject to limitations imposed by the Uniform
Code of Military Justice, he still maintains his
constitutional rights. Among those rights are the
ones ennumerated above.
The Supreme Court of the United States has
promised to review a case involving the Status-of-Forces
AfTeement. They will thus have the
opportunity to decide whether we shall scrap
the constitutional rights of our servicemen, there
by denying these rights to those men who are
doing the most to safeguard them for us alL
We must draw the line somewhere. We hope
that the Supreme Court does not draw it through
the constitutional rights of our service personnel
stationed abroad.
