Power and Humility in Open Source Investigations
A digital revolution is underway in which individuals on their computers, some working independently or in ad hoc collectives, and others as part of established organizations, are gathering and verifying information from online spaces that they believe contain evidence of human rights violations or international crimes such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide. Known commonly as digital investigators, citizen sleuths, or open sourc…
Ethical Considerations for Open-Source Investigations into International Crimes
Over the past decade, the field of digital open-source investigations has both expanded and matured. Open source investigations rely on information that anyone can access from the Internet, and have been increasingly deployed by legal investigators, human rights researchers, and journalists. The investigatory methods include Boolean searches; sourcing videos, photographs, and other data from social media; determining locations of events by compar…
Merging Responsibilities
In emergent fields of practice, there is often an ‘ethics lag’ — a period of significant innovation during which the focus is on what can be accomplished more than on the safeguards that should be put in place to protect the public from the unanticipated consequences of that innovation. This is true of the emergent field of digital open-source investigations conducted for international criminal justice purposes, in which researchers and analysts …

Today, almost anyone can upload and disseminate newsworthy content online, which has radically transformed our information ecosystem. Yet this often leaves us exposed to content produced without ethical or professional guidelines. In Graphic, Alexa Koenig and Andrea Lampros examine this dynamic and share best practices for safely navigating our digital world. Drawing on the latest social science research, original interviews, and their experience…
From ‘Capture to Courtroom’
The past decade has witnessed a profound shift in the documentation of war crimes and other serious international crimes. Whereas evidence collection has traditionally been conducted by legally mandated investigators, and focused on interviewing witnesses as well as gathering and preserving physical and documentary evidence, conventional forms of fact-gathering are now being supplemented by abundant digital documentation gathered by a dispersed n…
Open Source Information’s Blind Spot
Digital open source information has been heralded for its democratizing potential, insofar as it allows access to a much broader range of sources and voices than would normally be consulted through traditional methods of information gathering for international criminal investigations. It also helps to overcome some of the physical access barriers that are commonplace in international criminal investigations. At a time when the use of digital open…
Power and Privilege
Digital open source information — including the videos and photographs that people post to social media and other publicly accessible platforms — is increasingly valued as a critical source of evidence. While investigators have repeatedly established the value of open source information for researching a range of crimes, there is a subset of crimes that investigators have struggled to address with digital open sources — namely, sexual violence. I…

Half the Truth is Often a Great Lie”
The video opens with a man—now known to be Commander Al-Werfalli of the elite Libyan Special Forces team al Saiqa—throwing a quick glance over his shoulder as a black SUV rolls off camera. Cradling a gun, he saunters towards three men kneeling on a sidewalk, hands bound behind their backs, faces turned toward the wall. He raises the gun in his left hand. Without pausing, he walks methodically down the row, a bullet punctuating every other step. T…
