Clint Williamson, the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes, visited the Georgian capital of Tbilisi Friday to examine accusations of war crimes, local reports said.
“My visit to Georgia underlines how seriously the U.S. regards the information on crimes committed during the conflict and how Washington is concerned about proceeding events that result in ethnic cleaning,” he noted.
Several officials point to satellite photos that allege ethnic cleansing in certain areas during the conflict between Georgia and Russia over the breakaway republic of South Ossetia.
“I had very fruitful talks with officials and other representatives of Georgia, which monitored the facts of human rights violations, within the framework of the visit. It was very informative visit,” he said.
