This study examines private prosecution offences tried before military courts as trial courts, which occurs when the perpetrator of the offence is a person subject to military jurisdiction. The study seeks to identify the rationale for maintaining, within the criminal law system, procedural distinctions for private prosecution offences tried in military criminal proceedings. Further sections of the study also analyse, among other things, the similarities and differences between so-called prosecutorial interference under general (Article 60 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) and military (Article 661 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) criminal procedure in private prosecution cases. The study employs the descriptive method, relying primarily on linguistic, comparative, and historical interpretation.
