Unfortunately. even the best efforts of OSI and organizations like the Simon Wiesenthal Center to identify and investigate Nazi war criminals are not enough. Some foreign governments hinder the extradition of convicted Nazi war criminals between the U.S. and their country of origin. The World War II Accountability Act seeks to remedy this situation by making cooperation in the extradition of Nazi war criminals a prerequisite to a countrys inclusion in the U.S. visa waiver program. This is a powerful incentive for countries that continue to harbor these criminals. I believe It is a necessary tool to compel the relevant countries to cooperate with our search for justice.
