Shaping the Future of Investigations

The Human Rights Center offers professional training courses and workshops on digital open source investigations to human rights researchers, lawyers, analysts, investigators, and journalists worldwide. We use our first-hand experience conducting and supporting open source investigations to engage participants through lecture, case studies, and hands-on exercises.

We also set standards and guidelines for the international community to conduct digital open source investigations in a rigorous, ethical manner, so that their work may be used in future accountability processes.
