Legendary Nazi hunter says US will tighten laws to prosecute Russian war crimes
11/03/2022
The US remains an outlier among its allies on crimes against humanity prosecution rules
Former Nazi hunter Eli Rosenbaum says the US will update its laws in order to prosecute Russian war criminals.
Mr Rosenbaum, who spent decades tailing Nazis on the run from international authorities, has been appointed to direct the US Justice Department’s War Crimes Accountability Team. The initiative was launched in June in response to extensive reports of Russian human rights abuses in Ukraine.
Evidence of Russian war crimes throughout its invasion of Ukraine has sparked cross-party outrage in Washington, and the bipartisan Justice for Victims of War Crimes Bill pledges to open up routes to prosecute alleged war criminals on US soil whether or not defendants are US nationals.
