Military Advocate General logo
The Military Advocate General (MAG Corps') (Hebrew: הפרקליטות הצבאית, HaPraklitut HaTzva'it) is responsible for implementing the rule of law within the Israel Defense Forces. The unit's objectives include integrating the rule of law amongst IDF commanders and soldiers; providing commanders with the tools for the effective performance of their missions in accordance with the law; and working with the IDF to achieve its goals on all legal fronts. The MAG Corps has the ability to provide legal advice in emergencies and during warfare.[1]
The Military Advocate General's Corps (MAG Corps) was founded prior to the establishment of the State of Israel as the "Legal Service" within "Haganah" (the quasi-military body of the Jewish community and Zionist Movement in the British mandate prior to the establishment of the State of Israel). The MAG Corps, as it is today, was established in 1948 concurrent with the IDF, as the "Military Prosecution". In 1950, the unit was renamed the Military Advocate General's Corps.
Since 2015, the Military Advocate General holds the biannual IDF International Conference on LOAC. The conference brings together world-renowned academics and practitioners (governmental and otherwise) from around the world to discuss pertinent issues in LOAC.[2]
