martial law  

Définition

  • Martial law consists of transitory rule by military authorities of a designated area inhabited by civilians during periods of emergency. In theory, martial law is temporary, but a state of martial law in a jurisdiction may persist indefinitely (as observed in Egypt, which has been under martial law for several decades.) Martial law is not to be confused with military law, which is a collection of legal principles and regulations that apply only to members of the armed services.
