Furthermore, the IAPB has supported the work of two non- governmental actors working with criminal justice authorities in two other states and is aiming to further ongoing criminal investigations or help relevant authorities to instigate them. Herewith, the IAPB contributed to ongoing criminal investigations or inquiries in four states. Additionally, the IAPB has provided evidence and information to the OHCHR examination of the human rights situation in Belarus (OEB), thereby contributing to the findings published in their recent report.
