项目摘要

The United Kingdom's interventions in Iraq (2003-2011) and Afghanistan (2001-2021) gave rise to numerous allegations that British soldiers committed acts of brutality against local populations which contravened domestic and international law. These allegations found their way into several overlapping forums of accountability, including courts martial, domestic criminal courts, international courts, civil claims and two official enquiries. They also garnered significant public attention and inflamed debates concerning the motivations behind Britain's involvement in these conflicts, her global role, and the nature of her armed forces. This project will unpack the legal processes which followed these allegations and the discourses which they provoked, focusing on three questions: 1. How has British military justice been understood in public and political realms? 2. What norms, ideas, beliefs and histories inform these understandings? 3. How are these concepts instrumentalised in political discourses? The study will use interpretative qualitative analysis of interviews, memoirs, and media coverage to interrogate the ways that the various actors understood, experienced and influenced contemporary British military justice. A comparative study of events in Australia and Canada will aid in determining whether events in the UK were unique or, as some have suggested, resulted from increased legal and media scrutiny of modern war.

英国对伊拉克（2003-2011）和阿富汗（2001-2021）的干预提出了许多指控，称英国士兵对违反国内法和国际法的当地人口犯下了残酷行为。这些指控进入了几个重叠的问责制论坛，包括法院军事法庭，国内刑事法院，国际法院，民事诉讼和两次官方调查。他们还引起了广泛的公众关注，并激发了有关英国参与这些冲突，她的全球角色和武装部队本质的动机的辩论。该项目将解开遵循这些指控和他们引起的话语的法律程序，重点关注三个问题：1。在公共和政治领域中如何理解英国军事司法？ 2。哪些规范，思想，信念和历史可以理解这些理解？ 3。这些概念如何在政治话语中发挥作用？该研究将对访谈，回忆录和媒体报道进行解释性定性分析，以询问各种演员对当代英国军事司法的理解，经验和影响的方式。对澳大利亚和加拿大事件的比较研究将有助于确定英国的事件是否是独一无二的，或者正如某些人所建议的，是由于对现代战争的法律和媒体审查的增加而产生的。
