About Martial law in brief
Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normal civil functions or suspension of civil law by a government. Most countries use a different legal construct, such as a state of emergency. Martial law has also been imposed during conflicts, and in cases of occupations, where the absence of any other civil government provides for an unstable population. Examples of this form of military rule include post World War II reconstruction in Germany and Japan, and German occupation of northern France between 1871 and 1873. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal. During the September 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh clashes, Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan declared martial law.
