Hi @Elinruby, thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out and help if I can. Racnela21 (talk) 17:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would appreciate it. I am not sure what to make of Torimem's comment below. I sort of grasp that the article in Portuguese is about the broad topic, but isn't that branch of criminal law largely based on this legislation? It's of course possible that I misunderstood something -- I can parse Portuguese only if given tools and a whole lot of time --- but I am not certain whether the right to strike for example is the most important point as seen from outside Brazil. But since the Portuguese article was the starting point fo this one, the translated template still needs to be here. It doesn't mean that this article needs to faithfully represent the contents of the Portuguese article. What I do think is important, that is not in the Portuguese article and may not be well explained in this one, is the point I have seen made in sources that putting the actions of the military and military police under the jurisdiction of a separate court has effectively resulted in impunity for actions taken for example in the crackdown on the favelas, since any complaints that are filed go to these courts and languish and die there. And then there are the pros and cons of the Amnesty Law, which made it possible for the former guerilla Dilma Rousseff to become president but also ensured that nobody would ever be prosecuted for the disappearances and human rights abuses of the military dictatorship. Please let me know if I read any of that wrong, at your leisure of course. Elinruby (talk) 11:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scope[edit]

This article is a translation of the article in Portuguese "Direito penal militar" i.e. Military criminal law. The original article in Portuguese is about a broad topic, not about Brazil's Military Criminal Code (i.e. a specific piece of legislation), it even has a hatnote stating that it is written in an overly Brazilian perspective, and might not reflect a global approach to the topic. Other than that, as it stands now, the translated article deviates too much from the topic, i.e. Brazil's Military Criminal Code. Torimem (talk) 17:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
