Global Rights Compliance (GRC) is an international legal foundation focussed on using innovative approaches to international law to enable accountability for atrocity crimes. We have a presence in the Hague, London, Washington, and Kyiv.GRC is an implementing partner of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA). The ACA is a multilateral initiative established by the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom to provide strategic advice and operational assistance to Ukraine’s Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG) in the investigation and prosecution of atrocity crimes in Ukraine. As such, GRC in Ukraine works in support of the Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG) by deploying several Mobile Justice Teams (MJTs) which assist the OPG in all aspects of investigation, case building and prosecution. Our headquarters for this project are in Kyiv, Ukraine. GRC’s MJTs operate throughout Ukraine in areas of interest to the OPG.Prosecution and Investigation Track: GRC possesses unrivalled expertise and granular knowledge of the OPG, its working methodology and ongoing investigations and prosecutions within the context of the ongoing aggression by the Russian Federation. GRC is the only international organisation consisting of ICL specialists that has been consistently present in Ukraine since 2015, working with the OPG, law enforcement agencies and CSOs to support the documentation and investigation of international crimes and bring about accountability.Our Ukraine team (of both Ukrainian and international lawyers and investigators) has, over time, acquired an intimate knowledge of the conflict operating environment, and built trust-based relationships with all criminal justice system actors, relevant governmental bodies, CSOs and international partners.
