Institutional Evasion by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Ministerial Unit

3rd June 2025

The response issued by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Ministerial, International & Stakeholder Relations Unit — the department’s most senior correspondence body — failed to address the core legal, medical, and international treaty breaches raised in my submission. This unit exists specifically to manage ministerial-level complaints, international obligations, and stakeholder risk. Its refusal to engage with the evidence presented — including documentation of crimes against humanity, systemic denial of care, and second-generation TCDD exposure — does not represent a communication gap. It is a strategic dodge.


In international law, the deliberate avoidance of documented allegations — particularly after formal notice has been issued — is not neutral. Under Article 17 of the Rome Statute, such failure constitutes evidence of a state’s unwillingness to investigate or prosecute. When that evasion occurs at the highest level of ministerial correspondence, it confirms that the state’s failure is not accidental or isolated, but institutional.


Dodging documented crimes is not a shield — it is grounds for international jurisdiction. This behaviour is now formally recorded as part of a growing body of evidence demonstrating Australia’s systemic refusal to engage with credible allegations of ongoing human rights violations. This record will follow them — all the way to The Hague.
