Trump and Tillerson: Lives Lost to War Crimes Don't Matter

On top of all of the other agregious transgessions -domestic and foreign- by the Orange Ogre and his band of demented minions, we now have this.

Trump’s White House Decides War Crimes Don’t Matter, Shuts Accountability Office Down

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, America’s top diplomat, has wanted to do a bit of reorganizing in the State Department for quite some time now in order to focus on top priorities, such as finding new economic opportunities for American businesses and strengthening the US military prowess. Now it looks like he is going to achieve his goal, just at the expense of programs to promote human rights and fight world poverty.

Tillerson is apparently closing the Office of Global Criminal Justice, reassigning Todd Buchwald, the office’s special coordinator since December, 2015, and a career State Department lawyer, to a position in the State Department’s office of legal affairs


One person who clearly doesn’t approve of the possible shuttering of the office is David Scheffer, a professor at Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law, who also served as the first U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues.

“This is a very harsh signal to the rest of the world that the United States is essentially downgrading the importance of accountability for the commission of atrocity crimes,” Scheffer said. “This sends a strong signal to perpetrators of mass atrocities that the United States is not watching you anymore.”

The Office Of Global Criminal Justice was first established by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in 1997 to raise the importance of confronting mass murder in U.S. foreign policy, largely in response to the genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda, creating the post of Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues along the way. Over the following two decades, the office joined forces with several international criminal courts in an attempt to bring justice, not only to Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, but also to Cambodia and the Central African Republic. Furthermore, the office lobbied for greater U.S. support for the International Criminal Court (ICC).





More on the Office of Global Criminal Justice

The Office of Global Criminal Justice, headed by Todd F. Buchwald, advises the Secretary of State and the Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights on issues related to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. In particular, the Office helps formulate U.S. policy on the prevention of, responses to, and accountability for mass atrocities. To this end, the Office advises U.S. Government and foreign governments on the appropriate use of a wide range of transitional justice mechanisms, including truth and reconciliation commissions, lustrations, and reparations, in addition to judicial processes.

Obviously, none of this is a priority to the criminal gange in the White House.
 
They havent shut it down. What a load of hogwash.

The State Department has neither confirmed nor denied the move. “The State Department is currently undergoing an employee-led redesign initiative, and there are no predetermined outcomes,” a spokesperson said, later emphasizing, “We are not going to get ahead of any outcomes.”

A State Department spokesperson did not confirm or deny the office was being shuttered. “The State Department is currently undergoing an employee-led redesign initiative, and there are no predetermined outcomes,” the spokesperson said. “We are not going to get ahead of any outcomes.”
One senior State Department official, speaking on background, said it was “pure speculation on someone’s part” that the war crimes office was closing. But the official said there’s a massive drive to reorganize and consolidate the State Department, including folding special envoy offices back into bureaus to streamline the policymaking process and cut out redundancies from the unwieldy bureaucracy. The official also cautioned that policymakers often float the idea of closing certain offices and bureaus “just to see what comes back.”

Re-read what they said...
 
If you can't believe a website called Addicting Info, what can you believe?

Trump said he was going to close duplicative or useless government offices. I am glad to see him doing the job he was voted in to do.
\
GO TRUMP!

That office isnt useless. However, it isnt congressionally authorized.

That office was doing the same job as probably five other state department offices. Close it. Close another 100 or so.

Nah, you're thinking of Trudeau who not only doesn't care about war crimes but pays war criminals millions of dollars. This long standing office which was formed almost at the founding all the way back in the year of our lord; 1997, is superfluous office and is not being closed it is being absorbed by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Poor deep state unaccountable career bureaucrats might have to get a real job but I doubt it.
