Expanding Military Security Cooperation in Post-Conflict Nepal
Get PDFThis presentation will examine the advantages of integrating Women, Peace, and Security into military security cooperation, using post-conflict Nepal as a case study. This project provides special emphasis on the simultaneous goals of gaining a strategic advantage and establishing peace and justice by promoting the participation and perspectives of women. I will draw on my research of religious peacebuilding and my security cooperation experience in Nepal during the 2015 earthquake, post-conflict transition, and growth of Nepal’s contribution to United Nations Peacekeeping Operations. First, I will examine the contextual aspects of the security situation for women in Nepal and South Asia, the influence of UNSCR 1325, and methods of overcoming obstacles to cooperation. I will then describe the specific women, peace, and security efforts by the Office of Defense Cooperation in Kathmandu from 2014 to 2017. Finally, I will evaluate the results of these efforts with a focus on women’s participation in peace and security, disaster response, and overcoming a patriarchal culture to protect and empower women. The highlights of this analysis will consider participation, collaboration, overcoming social discrimination, the correlation of conflict and disasters, and the strategic advantages gained from these efforts.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/wps/1020/thumbnail.jp

He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2000 and joined the senior civil service, first as Defense Intelligence Officer for East Asia and later as Senior Intelligence Expert for Strategic Warning at DIA. He worked two years as a senior analyst with CENTRA Technology, Inc. before returning to government service as Deputy National Intelligence Officer for East Asia. He rejoined DIA in 2008, serving for six years as the agency’s senior China analyst, then National Intelligence Collection Officer for East Asia, and culminating with a second term as DIO for East Asia. Mr. Henley holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering and Chinese from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and master’s degrees in Chinese language from Oxford University, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar; in Chinese history from Columbia University; and in strategic intelligence from the Defense Intelligence College (now National Intelligence University).https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/seapower/1009/thumbnail.jp
Command Responsibility, Australian War Crimes in Afghanistan, and the Brereton Report
Get PDFThis article examines the question of command responsibility for war crimes under international and Australian law, and how far such responsibility extends. It uses the results of the Brereton Report, an Australian investigation into alleged crimes committed by its special forces in Afghanistan, as its starting point. While this is very much an Australian case study, the concerns it raises should be of interest to all professional militaries. The article also provides an important case study of the implications when national legal standards adopted for war crimes prosecutions differ from the provisions of international law
