Extractions: non awarded medals Click the banner below for important Veteran and ESO information The Australasian Military Fraud Often called by the derogatory term "wannabe" these are men and women who may or may not have served in the armed forces, but who fraudulently misrepresent themselves as having served; often in a theatre of war by their words and actions, and by wearing of medals and other accoutrements to military service to which they have no entitlement. In recent years there has been uncertainty about who is entitled to wear US and Vietnamese decorations. The Australian government has instituted an application and verification method for all those who believe that they are entitled to foreign awards. Those without government notification or approval must be classified as a fraud, a "wannabe." The impostor or fraud will push the line saying that they were "given" decorations in the field. This does not legitimise the wearing of the award. Official recognition was and still is supported with documentation and the written citation. It is known that some Vietnamese Commanders "awarded" American and Australian servicemen decorations for being nice, or for a favour, not for gallantry or service rendered. Under the Defence Act, 1903 as amended, it is a federal offence to claim to be a returned soldier, sailor or airman, subject to six months' imprisonment and a fine of up to $3300. Further it is an offence to wear a service decoration to which you are not entitled, attracting additional penalties.

The Right Of Self-Defence Under International Law - The Response To The Terroris Discusses if the international law relating to selfdefence provides detailed guidance on the legality of the totality of the United States' military operations. By Angus Martyn, published by the australian Parliamentary Library. http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/CIB/2001-02/02cib08.htm
Extractions: 12 February 2002 Contents Introduction Chronology International Terrorism and International Law Individual and State Legal Responsibility for 11 September ... Endnotes Introduction The events of 11 September and the subsequent military response by the United States and its allies raise some difficult issues in international law. Does an attack by a non-state terrorist group give rise to the right of self-defence as understood under international law? Under what circumstances was the Taliban regime as the Afghani government itself a legitimate target for military action under the self-defence doctrine? To what extent was the United States entitled to dictate the terms by which the Taliban regime should act before the military action would cease against it and Al Qaeda bases on Afghani soil? Only the first issue can be answered-yes-with any degree of confidence. The others are clouded with uncertainty. To some extent this uncertainty reflects the shift of international law away from an emphasis on regulating relations between sovereign states (countries) towards having to incorporate the actions of non-state groups within the legal framework. As part of this shift, the responsibility of governments for the actions of non-state groups such as the international terrorist network Al Qaeda is receiving increasing attention. The periodic use of military force by the United States against such organizations and so-called 'state sponsors of terrorism' during the 1990s appears to be forcing a change in accepted state practice and hence (arguably) influencing the boundaries of international customary law.

Extractions: Bob O'Hara Before becoming an independent researcher at the National Archives in Kew, London, Bob O'Hara worked for many years at GCHQ. Before that he served in the communications branch of the Royal Navy. Currently he leads a small team of researchers with degrees in such subjects as Classics and British Colonial history. The team has membership of the Royal Geographic Society and the Society of Genealogists and has access to various learned bodies and museums in London. We are able to conduct historical or genealogical research into the various subjects mentioned below, most of which are held at the National Archives, Ruskin Avenue, Kew, London. The N.A. holds records of soldiers and officers who were discharged up to 1921. Military records include details of Scottish, Irish, Welsh and English regiments. There are records of Royal Navy ratings who joined the service up to 1923, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force, Merchant Seamen, Metropolitan Police, Royal Irish Constabulary and Foreign Colonial Office records including those for the West Indies and early North American Colonies. For those able to accept images from a digital camera, we can send many more pages from the National Archives records than would be economically practical using the expensive National Archives methods of copying. The cost is minimal, being the price of a CD and the postage. There is no limit on the number of images which simply depends on how many shots we can take in the time agreed.
