The financing of the programs covers the investigation of war crimes in Syria, Ukraine, Iraq, Myanmas, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Gambia.
The White House recommends that the United States stop funding nearly two dozen programs that investigate war crimes in various states, especially Myanmar, Syria and Ukraine. Reuters write about it on Thursday, June 26th.
The White House Administrative-Budget Department has sent a letter to the State Department with proposals to stop funding multiple programs.
Three resources told the agency that some programs planned to end with projects to be responsible for war crimes in Ukraine.
This is, in particular, the global project of compliance with rights, which helps to collect evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity throughout Ukraine, such as sexual violence and torture.
Another program is Legal Action Network – a group of legal assistance that supports local efforts to hold Russian suspects in war crimes in Ukraine.
Currently, it is unknown if the White House recommendation in the state department will be fulfilled, but it sets strict requirements for justification, what is exactly and why it is necessary to maintain.
According to Reuters, state secretary Marco Rubio may advise maintaining important programs, such as helping prosecuting war crimes in Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that the United States refused to provide air defense funds to support “restraint forces”, which the UK and France plan to put in Ukraine after the war.
