At the end of February 2024, the seven national authorities (Lithuania, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine) participating in the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on alleged core international crimes in Ukraine decided to prolong the JIT for two more years - until 25 March 2026. The JIT was set up in March 2022 (→ eucrim 2/2022, 79-80) and has since received support from Eurojust, the United States Department of Justice, the ICC, Europol, the Core International Crimes Evidence Database (CICED), and the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine (ICPA). The aim of the JIT is to facilitate investigations and prosecutions in the Member States concerned as well as any such measures that may be taken forward to the ICC.
