The National Assembly has endorsed, at second reading, the Military Police Act, allowing the use of physical force and auxiliary means in the event of absolute necessity.
The texts specify that there is “absolute necessity” when there is resistance or refusal to obey an order by law enforcement authorities, in the arrest of an offender who is refusing to obey or is resisting a military police officer; in an attempted escape by detainees, or in a suicide attempt or an attempt on the life or health of others. “Absolute necessity” also pertains to instances of an attack on citizens or military police, release of hostages as well as in group public order offences and breaches of order in the army perpetrated by military personnel and attacks on buildings and other facilities. Physical force and auxiliary means can be used after a warning is issued with the exception of instances of surprise attacks and the release of hostages.
