IGADF Inquiry into Alleged War Crimes Committed in Afghanistan

Official Air Force Association Response to IGADF Inquiry into Alleged War Crimes Committed By Australian Troops in Afghanistan

RSL Australia and the Alliance of Defence Service Organisations, the latter of which the Air Force Association is a founding member, issued media statements stressing that natural justice must prevail.  The RSL and ADSO statements are included below and are fully supported by the Air Force Association.
