Iraq Historic Allegations Team The Iraq Historic Allegations Team ( IHAT ) is an investigation conducted by the Ministry of Defence into allegations of abuse and torture by British service personnel in Iraq . Much of these have focused on three interrogation sites near Basra operated by the Joint Forward Interrogation Team ( JFIT ) between March 2003 and December 2008 . The inquiry was established in November 2010 after 146 Iraqi men claimed to have been tortured . The team is led by a former head of Staffordshire CID and is made up of both military and ex - civilian police detectives and in November 2011 numbered 86 staff . In January 2013 it was reported that G4S subsidiary G4S Policing Solutions had lost its contract to provide 40 former police officers for the inquiry , and will be replaced by Police Skills , a subsidiary of Red Snapper Group , who will provide 100 former detectives . In a judicial review the Court of Appeal ruled in November 2011 that the involvement of the General Police Duties branch of the Royal Military Police ( RMP ) " substantially compromised " the inquiry because members of the unit had participated in detentions in Iraq . The armed forces minister , Nick Harvey , responded by announcing in March 2012 that that the RMP staff would be reassigned and replaced by Royal Navy Police personnel by 1 April 2012 . However , Louise Thomas , a former member of the inquiry team , has described IHAT as a " whitewash " and claimed that six RMP staff continued to work for it until May 2012 . The Ministry of Defence announced in October 2012 that they will investigate her claims . Lawyers representing people alleging that they have been tortured applied for another judicial review in May 2012 to examine the claim that the Royal Navy Police are not sufficiently independent since they also took part in interrogations , and that abuses were so systemic and widespread that only a public inquiry will satisfy the UK ' s human rights obligations . The case started on 29 January 2013 and is expected to last three days .
Demilitarisation Demilitarisation or demilitarization is the reduction of a nation ' s army , weapons , or military vehicles to an agreed minimum . Demilitarisation is usually the result of a peace treaty ending a war or a major conflict . A drastic voluntary reduction in size of a victorious army is called demobilization . Demilitarisation was a policy in a number of countries after both world wars . In the aftermath of World War I the United Kingdom greatly reduced its military strength . The resulting position of weakness during the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany was among the causes that led to the policy of appeasement . The conversion of a military or paramilitary force into a civilian one is also called demilitarisation . For example the Italian Polizia di Stato demilitarised in 1981 , and the Austrian Gendarmerie merged with the national police , making up a new civilian body . Demilitarisation can also refer to the policies employed by Allied forces during the occupation of Japan and Germany after World War II . The Japanese and German militaries were re - badged to disassociate them from their recent war history , but were kept active and reinforced to help the allies face the new Soviet threat that had become evident as World War 2 ended , and the Cold War began . Demilitarisation can also refer to the reduction of one or more types of weapons or weapons systems " ( See Arms Control ) " or the removal of combat equipment from a warship " ( See Japanese battleship Hiei ) " . A demilitarised zone is a specific area , such as a buffer zone between nations previously engaged in armed conflict , where military persons , equipment or activities are forbidden . Examples of demilitarisation include :
