🇺🇸 Today, Justice Info flew to the *United States.* The U.S. administration has frozen millions of dollars in aid, jeopardizing numerous transitional justice projects. NGOs that gather evidence and support victims are taking a major hit, as seen in Liberia, where negotiations were abruptly halted. Stephen Rapp, former U.S. ambassador, highlights that U.S. aid extends far beyond USAID and affects multiple justice programs. In Ukraine, 140,000 war crimes cases are at risk due to the freeze, disrupting the work of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group. Legal challenges are attempting to overturn the decision, but the consequences remain uncertain. Many small NGOs hesitate to speak out for fear of retaliation. In Syria, the collection of documents on crimes committed by the Assad regime has stalled due to a lack of funding. Colombia’s Special Jurisdiction for Peace risks losing 2% of its budget, affecting victim support. NGOs now fear the politicization of U.S. aid and question the future of their funding. 👉 https://www.justiceinfo.net/en/141772-us-aid-freeze-how-many-dead.html See you on Thursday for a new post.
