  • 15 February 2012 Senate Additional Estimates
    Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade 15 February 2012 Senate Additional Estimates Ql - Detainee Management in Afghanistan Senator Ludlam asked on Wednesday 15 February 2012, Hansard page 32. Can you table as much information as you can on the activities ofthe Inter-agency Detainee Monitoring Team in Afghanistan? Response: As part ofits military operations in Afghanistan, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) conducts detention operations to remove insurgent and criminal elements from the battlefield when required for reasons ofsecurity or where persons are suspected of committing serious crimes. Detention operations contribute to the ongoing security of the local population and Afghanistan and provide the ADF and coalition personnel with a measure offorce protection. ADF personnel are required to treat detainees humanely and with dignity and respect in accordance with Australian values and our domestic and international legal obligations. The proper treatment ofdetainees apprehended by the ADF in Afghanistan fundamentally underpins our legitimacy in the eyes ofthe local population, as well as the international community. After detainees have undergone initial screening and questioning at the ADF screening facility in Uruzgan, they may be transferred to either Afghan custody in Tarin Kot or US custody at the Detention Facility in Parwan (DFiP), or released if there is insufficient evidence to justify their ongoing detention or to support a prosecution through the Afghan judicial system. As part ofAustralia's detainee management framework in Afghanistan, Australian officials monitor detainees transferred to both Afghan and US custody in order to assess their welfare and treatment, including the conditions in which they are detained, in accordance with the detainee transfer arrangements we have with the Afghan and US Governments.
