A public log of reported violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, presented as leads for investigators, journalists, and researchers.
- For
- Investigators, journalists, and human-rights researchers
- Worth noticing
- Reports from conflict parties and state media are labeled and cannot raise an incident’s priority on their own.
Field notes
The stated workflow starts with daily monitoring of news and social-media feeds, then screens reports against specified legal scopes while excluding ordinary crime, politics, and military operations against combatants. Reports of the same event are merged under a permanent VW-year-number ID so later reporting and corrections stay attached. The page distinguishes media-reported leads from analyst review and independent verification, and says claims from conflict parties or state media cannot raise an incident’s priority on their own.
