Dear Ministry of Defence,

Please provide a report on the number of war crimes allegations reported to the Ministry involving NZDF, since September 11, 2001.

Yours faithfully,

Rodney Parsons

Dear Information,

The Burnham Inquiry reported that a range of concerns, including allegations of war crimes, were raised with them but were found to be outside of the scope of the inquiry and proposed to be dealt with by other processes.

Based on your feedback, it would appear that no further reviews have been undertaken to investigate these concerns. If not, please confirm this. If there have been reviews, including courts of inquiry, please provide those reviews.

Yours sincerely,

Rodney Parsons

Dear Mr Schmidt,

I appreciate your response. Unfortunately you haven't responded to my question.

Please provide the information related to what has occurred with the war crimes allegations that fell outside of the Burnham Inquiry. Whatever the structures setup, NZDF has a responsibility to follow the laws of armed conflict and therefore to investigate allegations of war crimes. Outside of the war crimes covered by the Burnham Inquiry, please provide the information requested or confirm that no additional reviews have been undertaken by NZDF. Alternatively, if you're withholding information, please outline the basis for withholding the information.

Yours sincerely,

Rodney Parsons
