Abstract
In 2020, the Brereton Inquiry Report was released. It suggested there was credible evidence that members of the Australian military may have committed war crimes in Afghanistan. These are suspicions only; they have not yet been tested at the criminal standard, and anyone accused of wrongdoing is entitled to the presumption of innocence. This article examines the extent to which a commander might be held legally responsible for wrongdoing committed by soldiers under their command.
