About the Office
The Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism (OVT) was established in 2005. OVT's mission is to support U.S. victims of overseas terrorism by helping them navigate foreign criminal justice systems and by advocating for their voices to be heard around the world.
OVT supports U.S. victims and their families in efforts to obtain information, be present during foreign terrorism prosecutions, and have a voice during the proceedings, as permitted by foreign law. OVT also provides policy advice on overseas terrorism victims' issues both within the U.S. Government and throughout the world.
OVT's direct services include:
Providing information to victims about foreign criminal justice systems, victims' rights in those systems (if any), and specific case notifications. OVT provides information through personal meetings, phone calls, emails, letters and password protected websites (in cases with larger numbers of victims);
Support in participating in foreign criminal justice proceedings. Through the Criminal Justice Participation Assistance Fund (CJPAF), OVT can pay for some victims' expenses associated with participating in foreign systems, including travel expenses to attend court in foreign countries;
Support in being heard. OVT advocates for the voices of all terrorism victims, including U.S. citizen victims, to be heard in overseas criminal justice proceedings. CJPAF funds the costs of submitting victim impact statements in foreign proceedings, where possible, particularly when victims are unable to appear in person.
As the federal agency whose mission is to ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, the Department of Justice is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. To build and retain a workforce that reflects the diverse experiences and perspectives of the American people, we welcome applicants from the many communities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, religions, and cultures of the United States who share our commitment to public service.
