The RCMP has launched a national investigation into allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine. The War Crimes Program is a partnership between the Department of Justice, RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. A website has been launched to provide Ukrainians information about the investigation, with pamphlets also being given to those arriving at Canada's airports starting this week and by groups working with the newcomers. The War Crimes Program is focused on denying safe haven to persons believed to have committed or been complicit in war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide and to seek accountability for their conduct. In late March, it was announced the RCMP would send officers to work with the International Criminal Court to help investigate claims that war crimes and crimes against humanity are taking place in Ukraine.
