JHA agencies’ network

The Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) agencies’ network has an important role to play in Europe. Its work helps ensure that the EU is well equipped to deal with security, justice, fundamental rights and gender equality. The agencies work on a wide range of important areas, including migration and border management, drug trafficking and combating organised crime, human trafficking and gender equality. Since these areas have a lot in common, the network was established to make use of the synergies and share information. The network includes nine agencies: CEPOL, EIGE, EMCDDA, EUAA, eu-LISA, Eurojust, Europol, FRA and Frontex. Since 2010, the JHA agencies have in turn hosted the network. In 2020, Eurojust has hosted the network, coordinating its activities and carrying out the secretariat function. Frontex took over in 2021, followed by CEPOL in 2022. The hosting agency reports to the Council’s Standing Committee on Operational Cooperation on Internal Security (COSI) regarding the network’s progress and achievements.

Eurojust and the war in Ukraine

Eurojust support to justice for UkraineSince the outbreak of the war, Eurojust has been at the forefront of supporting accountability for Russian crimes, based on its 20 years’ experience of working with national prosecutors on cross-border cases.Just three weeks following the full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022, Eurojust supported the setting up of a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) that now consists of Ukraine, six EU Member States, the International Criminal Court and Europol.Recognising the specific evidentiary challenges related to this type of investigations, a Core International Crimes Evidence Database (CICED) was established, based on an urgent amendment of Eurojust’s mandate, following the invasion of Ukraine. So far, hundreds of files from various countries including Ukraine have been submitted to CICED for preservation and analysis.The International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine (ICPA) is also hosted by Eurojust. It is a unique judicial hub fostering cooperation between national prosecutors, and enabling the exchange of evidence and a common prosecution strategy.The Agency additionally hosts the EU Network for investigation and prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes (the Genocide Network) - a central hub for the exchange of expertise in this area.Since March 2022, Eurojust has also been actively participating in the EU Freeze and Seize Task Force set up by the European Commission to ensure the efficient implementation of EU sanctions against listed Russian and Belarussian oligarchs across the European Union. Eurojust provides operational support to the Task Force by coordinating Member States’ enforcement of Union sanctions through criminal law.Browse our Key Developments Timeline, highlighting Eurojust’s actions in response to the war in Ukraine.Related contentInternational Centre for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine (ICPA)Core International Crimes Evidence Database (CICED)Joint investigation team into alleged core international crimes in UkraineGuidance and training on investigating and prosecuting core international crimesEU Freeze & Seize Task Force
