Creates a new State Department office to help stop global war crimes.
This bill would create a new office in the State Department. This office would work to prevent and respond to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide worldwide. It would give the U.S. government a clearer way to coordinate efforts to hold those responsible for these terrible acts accountable.
Today, the U.S. government does not have a specific office established by law within the State Department dedicated to global criminal justice. If this bill passes, the State Department would have a new Office of Global Criminal Justice, led by an Ambassador-at-Large, to centralize and strengthen U.S. efforts against war crimes and other atrocities worldwide.
