Armed Forces and Fundamental Rights

While Fundamental Rights apply to all citizens, special restrictions are placed on members of the Armed Forces to maintain discipline and operational efficiency. These limitations, though curtailing certain freedoms—such as the right to participate in political activities—are designed to ensure that the military remains an apolitical institution.

The rationale behind these restrictions is to preserve the chain of command and to allow the armed forces to function effectively, especially in critical security situations, without the complications that may arise from dual allegiances.
