Public Affairs Section NEW . . . – December 9, 2002 U.S.-UKRAINE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGREEMENT SIGNED The U.S.-Ukraine Memorandum of Understanding on Law Enforcement Assistance was signed by American Ambassador Carlos Pascual and Deputy State Secretary Oleksandr Motsyk of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Agreement establishes a legal framework for implementing law enforcement assistance programs designed to enhance Ukraine’s law enforcement capacity in several areas, especially in the areas of countering trafficking in persons, combating money-laundering, protecting intellectual property rights, and enhancing the security of the state borders of Ukraine. In addition to law enforcement projects under this Agreement, the United States will also support the related efforts of nongovernmental organizations, such as those working to establish centers to prevent trafficking in persons. The Agreement governs such technical details of assistance programs as financing, personnel qualifications, monitoring and evaluation, and title to property. The agreement is a means of implementing the goals and objectives of the U.S.-Ukraine Law Enforcement Working Group’s Program of U.S.-Ukrainian Cooperation for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime, signed in Kiev on June 5, 2000. The entire program is based on the U.S.-Ukraine Agreement Regarding Humanitarian and Technical Economic Cooperation of 1992. Specific law enforcement assistance projects will be agreed by the parties and implemented as authorized, subject to available funding. The United States Government currently has approximately $4.2 million available to support law enforcement projects with governmental and non-governmental entities. |
