What We Do
У нашій команді – визнані у світі журналісти, документалісти, науковці, юристи, розслідувачі воєнних злочинів. Вони працювали у Сирії, Чечні, Руанді та Боснії. Ми на власному гіркому досвіді знаємо, як легко втрачається справедливість і які руйнівні наслідки ця втрата несе для стійкості миру та історичної пам’яті. Дезінформація та диктатори дуже часто беруть гору. Наше завдання – більше ніколи цього не допустити.

The Reckoning Project Methodology
We focus on individuals, stories and testimonies, and the human element of crimes. Evidence is collected in real-time or shortly after an atrocity occurs. We are governed by the Do No Harm Principle and the Berkeley Protocol.
Our interview methodology ensures we do not contaminate evidence - researchers make sure the witness is genuinely consenting before we begin interviews. We ask open and non-leading questions. Our researchers are trained in recognizing trauma and avoiding re-traumatizing someone who is telling their story. Our verification is correct, concise and concrete.
The witness testimonies we collect are being featured in international outlets to make sure that justice in all its forms is not forgotten, even as war retreats from the front pages.

Leveraging Media Resources
We leverage the media relationships built over decades by our staff, researchers, and board members to keep human rights atrocities at the forefront of discussions happening in print, online, and on television.
Testimonies collected by our researchers are regularly cited and shared, and the consistent spotlight on atrocities helps expedite justice for victims of war crimes.
