September 2024 BIG STORIES

30 Sep 2024

This edition covers the progress of the transitional justice bill in Nepal, Liberia’s commitment to provide reparation to victims of war crimes, and avenues for repurposing recovered funds of a Russian oligarch to victims of the conflict in Ukraine. [...] The forfeiture of these funds is a significant achievement for the NCA, highlighting the importance of sanctions enforcement in the UK’s efforts to uphold the integrity of its sanctions regime. [...] In August, REDRESS called on the UK Government to redirect the recovered £783,827 to support survivors of the conflict in Ukraine. [...] The money, currently set to be transferred to the UK’s Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS), could be allocated for reparations through the discretionary powers of the Home Office and NCA. [...] While the current government commits to providing reparation to the victims of the conflict, it fails to adopt uniform policies.
