Office of Global Criminal Justice

Description

The Department of State’s Office of Global Criminal Justice (J/GCJ) works to prevent atrocities, mitigate their effects, and end impunity by fostering justice and accountability to enhance respect for human dignity and stability worldwide. GCJ seeks to strengthen accountability mechanisms to investigate and prosecute those responsible for serious international crimes committed during both armed conflict and times of peace (including those involving killings, sexual violence, arbitrary detentions, torture, and missing persons) and to encourage the highest standards in investigations conducted by prosecutors and civil society actors. GCJ seeks applications for one award that promotes accountability for serious human rights abuses and violations of international criminal law for alleged crimes committed by Belarusian authorities.
