Mission
Truth requires evidence.Evidence requires independence.
We document violations the way science documents fact — methodically, transparently, and without allegiance to any government, party or ideology. Every record we publish is built from verifiable medical, legal and digital evidence, so that accountability rests on what can be proven, not what can be claimed.
Methodology
From incident to public record.
A disciplined chain of custody. Every step is independent, documented, and reproducible — so a conclusion can always be traced back to its evidence.
- 01
Incident
A violation is reported or identified through monitoring.
- 02
Documentation
Structured intake of testimony, records and materials.
- 03
Medical Review
Clinicians assess findings against the Istanbul Protocol.
- 04
Legal Analysis
Counsel maps findings to international legal standards.
- 05
Verification
Independent cross-checking and OSINT corroboration.
- 06
Publication
A documented, citable report enters the public record.
Evidence Categories
Four pillars of verifiable proof.
Each case is built on independent, cross-checked evidence — never on a single source or claim.
01
Medical Documentation
Clinical assessment of physical and psychological findings to Istanbul Protocol standards.
02
Legal Assessment
Analysis against international humanitarian and human rights law by qualified counsel.
03
Witness Testimony
Structured, trauma-informed interviews captured under strict confidentiality.

Digital Evidence
Open-source verification, metadata analysis and chain-of-custody preservation.
