💨 Abstract

The White House has suggested cutting funding for nearly two dozen programs that address war crimes and accountability issues worldwide, including those in Myanmar, Syria, and Ukraine. This decision, from the Office of Management and Budget, allows the State Department to appeal. Key programs at stake include those supporting war crimes investigations in Ukraine. The recommendations reflect the administration's shift towards prioritizing "America First" policies, potentially impacting global efforts to hold perpetrators accountable and provide justice in regions affected by atrocities.
