>The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has found that “military courts should not have jurisdiction to try civilians, whatever the charges they face.”

It's wiki so sauce must be verified if this goes any further, but it appears this Working Group only has the authority of what the nation-states give it. In other words, anon is correct:

>>3080232 l.b.

The Group functions as a quasi-judicial body.[21] The Group has no direct enforcement power of its own. Instead, it relies on communication among states, policy-makers and advocates to encourage governments to implement its recommendations.[22] Due to its reliance on the cooperation of states, it can be argued that this weakens the authority of the Group.

 

The opinions of the Working Group however are legally binding to the extent that they are based on binding international human rights laws, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This is applicable to states that have ratified the Covenant.

 

The opinions of the Working Group are considered authoritative by some prominent international judicial institutions including the European Court of Human Rights.[23] The features of the Working Group arguably play a role in its success, as it allows it to provide a politically viable alternative to treaty-based human rights enforcement mechanisms.[24] The flexible mandate enables it to avoid direct political confrontation with governments, ultimately achieving more politically acceptable and lasting solutions to individual cases of arbitrary detention.[25] While the opinions of the Working Group are not binding on states, they can facilitate information sharing among non-governmental organisations and governments. This can in turn lead to an increase in government accountability.

Then there's this:

Indeed, the United States has not accepted a single international obligation required under the Covenant. It has not changed its domestic law to conform with the strictures of the Covenant. Its citizens are not permitted to sue to enforce their basic human rights under the Covenant.

>>3080220 l.b.

Try harder.

"It takes tremendous courage in a law enforcement organization."

Indeed it does. God bless & protect those who summon the courage to do so.
