A long awaited inquiry into the conduct of Australian Special forces in afghanistan has found credible evidence of multiple war crimes. The report contains details of 39. 00 unlawful killings of civilians, all prisoners, and the cruel treatment of a further to include a weapons being planted on bodies to conceal wrongdoing and special investigator will be appointed to prepare evidence for possible prosecutions. Justice persian considered in detail. 57 allegations of incidents and issues. He found there to be credible information to substantiate 23 incidents, of alleged unlawful killing of 39 people by 25 strategy and special forces personnel predominantly from the special air service regiment. Nick cage is in law, is in camera live for us, nicola, you just heard the australian chief of the Australian Defense force is there speaking . He said there were 23 incidents of alleged unlawful killing of 39. 00 people plus a litany of war crimes. I mean, are we looking at in institutionalized behavior . Are we looking a repeated plants and based soley in the Specialist Services . Well, this is very uncomfortable and shocking reading and it will come as a very difficult rating for many papal this investigation has been ongoing for for years. And while this part of the investigation is complete, it could be until we see any kind of criminal investigations. Thats because this was more of an administrative process rather than a criminal investigation. So from here we will see a special investigator look at 19 soldiers and whether they should be prosecuted for war crimes in terms of a culture. That is the very question here. This inquiry and report says that in terms of responsibility, many of the offices and Senior Leadership did not realize that wrongdoing that was happening on the battlefield. But in terms of the information that has come out today, it is quite shocking. Theres allegations of unlawful killing of civilians that didnt take place in the hate of battle, allegation of the execution of prisoners, the planting of weapons on board these and also whats known as blooding with more sane u. S. Soldiers forced junior soldiers to kill people in afghanistan for their 1st kill and that does say that there was a bit of a culture if we have just saw in many cases. But at the same time we need to remember that there were more than 26000 strata in operations in afghanistan. Most of these operations incidence took place within the special forces unit and only 19 special air service. Special force troops going to be involved in this investigation moving forward. So the government and the Australian Defense force will be hoping that its nipping this in the bud in telling the International Community and people of afghanistan that theyre taking this seriously, that people will be held to account and the chief of Defense ForceAngus Campbell has apologized sincerely on behalf of those who did wrong here nonlocal, its going to be a long time before any of these. If indeed they do get to court. And in fact, a prosecution. Afghan family is going to be waiting for a while before they get any closure from this. Right. Thats exactly right. Afghan families have welcomed this inquiry and theyve just been wanting to know what happened to their loved ones. And interesting part here is that the Australian Defense force has said that it needs to take responsibility and accountability even before this reaches the court system. So the inquiry has recommended that a Compensation Scheme be set up for families of victims in afghanistan because its the right thing to do. And if we look at other cases, the u. K. Has held similar inquiries and to use in millions of dollars spent there has been no prosecutions. The International Criminal court has also been looking at allegations of war crimes in afghanistan by the taliban. The Afghan Military and u. S. Forces and President Donald Trump has said that he isnt for this, and hes even sanctioned some i say say stuff. So i think credit needs to be given here to the Australian Defense force for saying that is not the behavior that we accept in a conflict. So i know we are going to be Holding People to account in the future to make sure that if wrongdoing has a could, people will be prosecuted so that families can find out what happened to their loved ones in the end there in camera.
