Abstract
This report responds to interrogatories provided by the report sponsors concerning United States law of armed conflict investigation and prosecution practices and policies. Where possible the report relies on
primary sources such as statutes or regulations. Occasionally, the report relies on secondary sources to identify primary sources not publicly or immediately available. Observations made without citations to authority are generally based on the author's personal experience as a military lawyer. The report draws exclusively from unclassified or declassified materials available in the public domain. The report does not account for classified materials or practices and investigations not lawfully made public. To that effect, the report does not rely on classified U.S. materials recently published by the Wikileaks organization.
