Abstract
The paper is mostly based on both published and unpublished
archives for researching the normative determinants and
circumstances of the emergence of military courts established in
the periods during and after the Second World War by
Yugoslav Communists. The organisational and normative
system of military courts emerged gradually and was fully
established in the last years of World War II, when the Yugoslav
Communists created other major repressive bodies. However,
the normative determinants and structure of military courts were
continually governed by party interests. Thus appeared the
norms and structure which were in every way in opposition to
other contemporary non-communist judiciary models.
