📉 Although the recommendation is not a final decision — the U.S. State Department can still appeal — agency sources doubt that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will support continued funding for most of the initiatives.
🧾 The recommendation concerns, in particular, the Global Rights Compliance program, which collects evidence of sexual violence and torture during the russian–Ukrainian war. Also under threat is the Legal Action Network program, which helps initiate cases against russian war criminals.
🔍 One of the sources noted, however, that the State Department could still justify the continuation of support for investigations, at least in the context of Ukraine.
