Published: April 25, 2023

A delegation from the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine paid a working visit on international criminal law to Berlin in the last week of March. The idea for this working visit was prompted by a meeting between the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Andriy Kostin, and the Prosecutor General, Dr. Peter Frank at the G7 meeting of justice ministers in Berlin in autumn 2022.

The Office of the Public Prosecutor and the Federal Ministry of Justice were happy to comply with the Ukrainian request to hold expert talks on investigative methods regarding international criminal law and war crimes. The IRZ organised this work visit, where representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine were invited to spend three days at the Federal Ministry of Justice and meet their colleagues from the Office of the Prosecutor General and the Federal Criminal Police Office, and with Senior Public Prosecutor, Klaus Hoffmann, who is currently working within the framework of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group in Ukraine, to engage in intensive discussions on the relevant issues relating to the investigation of international crimes.
