The US Administration has made a decision to temporarily continue financing the Conflict Observatory initiative, which is engaged in tracking mass deportation by Russian children. About it reports The Washington Post with reference to knowledgeable sources.
According to the publication, the program will receive funding for another six weeks before it transmits to Europol. This will preserve and transmit evidence that can be used in the International Criminal Court.
The decision was influenced by a wide-party coalition, which included Democrats and Republicans in Congress, as well as representatives of Christians-Javanellist organizations. They called on the US administration to continue funding as the data collected by Conflict Observatory is important for investigating war crimes.
Earlier it was reported that due to the termination of funding, evidence of martial crimes worth $ 26 million could be lost. The program uses satellite images, biometric data and digital tools for tracking deportations that are important evidence for international justice.
