Additional Context: This information was collected by Human Rights Watch, or HRW, in an interview with a representative from Truth Hounds, an organization that investigates war crimes in Ukraine and eastern Europe. U.S. cuts significantly affected the team's ability for data entry and technical maintenance of the I-DOC database approved by the International Criminal Court for the reporting of evidence of human rights violations, forced disappearances, displacement, torture, and unlawful killings in Ukraine. The representative told HRW that they are seeking alternative donor support to retain and rebuild capacity.

Devex Researcher Note: Truth Hounds does not publically list funding amounts on its website. However, U.S. government partners had included the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassy Kyiv, Freedom House, and the National Endowment for Democracy.
