Question

You are a guest monitoring a host nation training activity being conducted by a host nation military officer who is preparing younger officers for operations in support of law enforcement, such as protection of a prison perimeter during a police raid to quell an inmate riot. The instructor describes a scenario in which soldiers on the perimeter capture a fleeing inmate and are holding him for turnover to police custody. The instructor suggests that because the police are preoccupied, the soldiers would be permitted to aggressively interrogate the inmate about other inmates who may have planned the riot, using death threats to intimidate the suspect. Some of the students turn and look at you quizzically, as if trying to ascertain your opinion on the matter. What do you do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Politely ask the instructor for clarification on national laws regarding military authorities in such missions, and also on the interrogation method described, given its human rights implications. Report the problematic training to your chain of command.

Explanation:

At such circumstances , we need to judge the instructor based on the actual military law that applicable rather than relying on our personal feeling. So, first thing we need to do is to find out whether what being thought by that instructor is the proper protocol according to military law

If the answer is no, then we can start to involve third party organization such as human rights watch or the pers in order to held the instructor accountable.
