Additional Context: This information was collected by Human Rights Watch, or HRW, in an interview with representatives of the International Partnership for Human Rights, or IPHR. IPHR's Russia-Ukraine programs were entirely funded by the U.S. government. Projects also included information-gathering activities about human rights abuses in Russian-occupied areas that Ukrainian authorities or international investigative initiatives could not access.

The group mentions that funding cuts have severely impaired their ablity to advance court cases and obtain recognition and compensation for victims.

Devex Researcher Note: It is unclear if funding for the organization and its work have been reinstated. While it is known that $95 million congressionally-appropriated funds were reinstated to the National Endowment for Democracy, one of their key funders, it is unconfirmed if State Department funding continued after the stop-work orders.
