JAKARTA - TNI Commander Marshal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto reminded all military judges to maintain honor and dignity, as well as behavior as stipulated in statutory regulations.

"Officers must implement concretely and consistently these moral principles, both in carrying out their judicial duties and outside their judicial duties. Because this is closely related to efforts to uphold law and justice by taking into account the interests of national defense," said the TNI Commander in Jakarta. , reported by Antara, Wednesday, November 4.

This was conveyed by the Commander during his briefing to High Officers (Pati) and Intermediate Officers (Pamen) of the TNI in the Supreme Court which was carried out virtually at TNI Headquarters, Cilangkap, East Jakarta.

According to the former Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Air Force (Kasau), the TNI has main tasks that have been stipulated in law.

In carrying out these duties, he said, if a TNI soldier commits a violation of the law, then the soldier is subject to the powers of the Military Court.

Hadi emphasized that Pati and Pamen TNI who served in the Supreme Court were the executors of the noble mandate to uphold justice for TNI soldiers as stipulated in Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Courts, the existence of Military Courts was in order to support the success of TNI Main Duties.

"Military Justice is the executor of judicial power within the TNI to uphold law and justice by taking into account the interests of the administration of national defense and security," he said.

TNI Marshal Hadi explained that the law of military discipline states that the law of military discipline applies to the military so that every TNI soldier in carrying out his duties and obligations has a disciplined attitude and behavior by obeying the law of military discipline.

"As for Military Judges who carry out their duties and obligations, very heavy rules apply because in addition to maintaining the dignity and dignity of the Military Judiciary, a Military Judge must also maintain the good name and dignity of the TNI," said Hadi in his press release.

The assignment and career development of TNI soldiers within the Military Court, he said, is also inseparable from the authority of the TNI Commander. Of course, in its implementation, we still cooperate with the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court conducts technical, organizational, administrative, and financial guidance on military justice, while personnel development is carried out by the TNI Commander.

"The point is that military judges are TNI soldiers who act as judges, so all the provisions that apply within the TNI environment also apply to military judges," said the TNI commander.

On that occasion, the TNI Commander emphasized that TNI personnel assigned to have high professionalism and integrity, namely personnel who have qualified technical capabilities supported by a noble personality, are immovable and always obey the values or norms that apply in carrying out their duties.
