Report: Funding Freeze Threatens Russian War Crime Probe

The Trump administration's freeze of foreign funding has begun impacting an international effort to hold Russia responsible for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, according to eight sources and a Ukrainian document seen by Reuters, halting dozens of jobs and tens of millions of dollars in aid.

 

Ukraine has opened more than 140,000 war crime cases since Moscow's February 2022 invasion, which has killed tens of thousands, ravaged vast swathes of the country and left behind mental and physical scars from occupation. Russia consistently denies war crimes have been committed by its forces in the conflict.

 

U.S.-funded international initiatives such as the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine (ACA) have provided expertise and oversight to Ukrainian authorities. Kyiv has been praised by its Western partners for probing alleged crimes while the war is still raging.

 

At stake are six U.S.-funded projects at the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) valued at $89 million, according to a Ukrainian document on the U.S. funding and cuts seen by Reuters.

 

Funding for at least five of those projects has already been frozen, according to five sources directly involved, who cited interruptions in payments. The affected worked on issues ranging from the preservation of evidence from the battlefield to anti-corruption initiatives and reform of Ukraine's prosecution system.

 

Two of the listed projects were funded by USAID, three by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement and one directly by the Department of State, the document showed.

 

Of that funding, $47 million was directly allocated to war crimes accountability, the document showed.

 

The impacts on war crimes programs described by the sources and the document have not previously been reported. Nearly all of the sources spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.

Third Judge Blocks Trump's Order Ending Birthright Citizenship for Kids of People in US Illegally

A third federal judge on Monday blocked President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of people in the U.S. illegally.

 

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Joseph N. Laplante in New Hampshire comes after two similar rulings by judges in Seattle and Maryland last week.

 

A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union contends that Trump's order violates the Constitution and "attempts to upend one of the most fundamental American constitutional values."

 

Trump's administration has asserted that children of noncitizens are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. and therefore are not entitled to citizenship.

 

The administration is appealing the Seattle judge's block on Trump's executive order.

 

At the heart of the lawsuits in the three cases is the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1868 after the Civil War and the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, which held that Scott, an enslaved man, wasn't a citizen despite having lived in a state where slavery was outlawed.

 

In 1898, in a case known as United States v. Wong Kim Ark, the Supreme Court found the only children who did not automatically receive U.S. citizenship upon being born on American soil were children of diplomats, who have allegiance to another government; enemies present in the U.S. during hostile occupation; those born on foreign ships; and those born to members of sovereign Native American tribes.

 

The U.S. is among about 30 countries where birthright citizenship — the principle of jus soli, or "right of the soil" — is applied. Most are in the Americas, and Canada and Mexico are among them.
