Mission Statement
To achieve Social and Legal accountability for victims of international crimes committed during the Russian invasion and occupation of Ukraine via OSINT methodology. We achieve this Mission by our threefold vision:
Justice - Our International Crimes Investigations Group (ICIG) made up of investigators and legal analysts (ICL, IHL and Human Rights) conducts in depth investigations, analysis of several international crimes committed in relation to the Russo-Ukrainian war, collection of potential evidence and searches for avenues of accountability for those violations by cooperating with several official accountability bodies and accountability NGOs.
Truth - The Center for Influence and Disinformation Research (CIDER) uses OSINT methodology combined with investigative journalism and academic research to conduct investigations into Russian and foreign influence and disinformation campaigns in Europe and better understand how disinformation spreads in order to develop tools to fight it.
Memory - “Project Mariupol” is our standalone project where we conduct documentation of potential international crimes committed in Ukraine and aggregate them on a map database adding information on Russian military units during the estimated time and location of the crime/s. The information is then combined to an interactive map and tool for criminal investigators to utilize.
