Ambassador Van Schaack will travel to Warsaw October 15-16, 2024, to discuss justice and accountability for atrocities and support to victims in the context of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
In Poland, she will meet with government officials and civil society actors, including organizations that contribute to justice efforts and work with victims and survivors in Ukraine and Poland. She will also participate in leadership meetings of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA) for Ukraine.
The ACA initiative was established in 2022 by the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom to provide coordinated strategic advice, capacity building, and operational assistance to Ukraine’s Office of the Prosecutor General in the investigation and prosecution of atrocity crimes in Ukraine.
The ACA is an essential element of the U.S. commitment to holding Russia to account for atrocity crimes and ensuring justice for Ukraine, which also includes support to national authorities, international bodies and investigations, and civil society.
