SOAS Panel Event: Video Now Available- SAS Inquiry on Afghanistan

The recording of our recent panel event - 'The UK's SAS Inquiry on Afghanistan: Night Raids and Targeted killings' now available to watch.

This vital discussion explores serious allegations surrounding modern military operations, including extrajudicial killings, unlawful civilian deaths, and a culture of impunity. Drawing on original BBC reporting, the panel examines the legal, ethical, and moral fault lines of contemporary warfare—from night raids to the state’s role in authorizing lethal force.
