20-21 November 2022, Krakow (Poland):



Delegations from the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Health and of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) meet with ETAF’s Ukraine Steering Group (https://www.etaf-dvi.org/ukraine-steering-group) to list and explain the needs of their forensic services, both in terms of material support and training.

A member of the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada) and a representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine participate in the meeting.

The list of participants can be found here (link).

On the basis of the needs assessment, ETAF will prepare a detailed project proposal for formal adoption between it and the above-mentioned Ukrainian authorities, to be submitted to potential donors.

The Ukrainian side insists on the urgency of the matter and the scope of the problem, given the very high and ever-increasing number of human remains and potential war crime scenes to be dealt with by their services.
