The network of Military District Courts, which encircled 'People's' Poland in the first post-war decade, was a fundamental tool for installing communist power and building a new 'worker-peasant' system for the party and state decision-makers. Courts served primarily to crack down on political opposition and (declining) armed resistance. Despite their theoretically military nature, the WSRs sentenced mainly civilians, and the reasons for sentences lay in political and ideological calculation rather than in real, objective crimes. In this sense, the WSR should be regarded as a clear manifestation and symbol of the lawlessness of the 'people's' justice system, infringing fundamental human rights.
