Australian military war crimes in Afghanistan could lead to major global conflict

If the world does not take the massacre of thousands of unarmed Afghans seriously, the international community will lose its credibility. China and Russia are demanding an investigation into the war crimes committed by US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan. "It's an acknowledgment that NATO forces are involved in war crimes," he said. They have been proven right. Interview with Dr. Krupovitz of Human Rights Watch

LAHORE: A special investigation report by Mian Muhammad Nadeem has been released. The context could create new conflicts between the world powers. The war crimes of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan have been debated for some time, but the latest images are of Australian troops in the NATO alliance, possibly made by Australian troops and leaked by Australian troops.

In this regard, the two world powers, China and Russia, are calling for a global investigation into war crimes in Afghanistan, while Australia has US support, as the US International Criminal Court ruled in March this year against US-led NATO coalition war crimes in Afghanistan. The investigation was ordered. Experts say the United States stands with Australia because if this Pandora's box opens, the US military will also have to stand trial. However, it is worrying that China's main strategic ally Pakistan has created this new scandal. It has distanced itself from the crisis and has not yet been formally condemned by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry.

Tensions between Australia and China escalated after China shared the photos on the Chinese government's official Twitter account this week, prompting Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to call it "irresponsible" and "internal" in his country's affairs. He called for the removal of the images, but Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Lijiang Zhao said in a statement: "I strongly condemn the killing of Afghan civilians and prisoners by Australian troops. We strongly condemn this." Are and demand to hold them accountable.

The Australian prime minister, who is a staunch supporter of the global organization of white extremists like US President Trump, acknowledged that tensions between China and Australia were undoubtedly high, but warned that "this is not the way to deal." Earlier, Australia, following in the footsteps of President Trump, demanded an investigation into the spread of the corona virus against China.

Experts say the investigation into the spread of the corona virus is just an excuse because China has long been drawing the attention of the international community to human rights violations by US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan. A commission of inquiry was set up under international pressure, whose report acknowledged that 25 Australian soldiers had been involved in the killing of 39 Afghan civilians between 2009 and 2013, but said the Australian Defense Force The case was limited to condemnation and routine police interrogation.

However, Australia's own report states that "there is" credible evidence "that they were killed illegally and that there is a" militant culture "in the military's elite units. The report also reveals that junior soldiers are encouraged. The report also acknowledged allegations by human rights groups that a "special atmosphere" was created by killing unarmed innocent civilians and arming them with weapons (this impression). To give that those killed were "fighters" who were killed during military "operations").

The matter came to a head when it was revealed that Australian soldiers had killed teenagers and dumped their bodies in a river. Australia was one of the leading non-NATO allies in the war in Afghanistan. Undoubtedly, these reports in the international media on their blatant human rights violations shocked and shocked human rights activists around the world, while the senior Australian military leadership brazenly called it a "hot war culture". The wounds of the oppressed Afghan families were salted.

While this is a massacre of innocent people on the basis of racial prejudice and serious war crimes committed by the Australian military, while serious war crimes in Afghanistan are being condemned around the world, the government of Pakistan has remained silent on Saturday. Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who has spoken to reporters two or three times, or Prime Minister Imran Khan, who claims to be telling the truth, has not uttered a single word. This situation is also a matter of concern for human rights circles as the Australian government itself Almost acknowledging and investigating, and the issue of human rights in Pakistan's border neighboring country, Islamabad's silence on it is considered surprising.

The Australian Prime Minister says no one has been separated from the Australian Defense Forces at the moment, while a magazine report says two soldiers have already been fired. He is a witness to the killing of an Afghan man in a field. The case was the subject of a TV investigation. Eyewitnesses have been fired, but no action has yet been taken against anyone involved. Scott Morrison says the investigation has uncovered several possible criminal cases. Can take years.

Australian for the inquiry report that has come out in this regard
