Investigating War Crimes in Different Contexts and Regions

KLCC Level 3 - Conference Hall 3

About This Session

Across theaters of conflict from Sudan to Palestine, gathering and analyzing evidence of war crimes poses similar challenges. What methods can keep reporters, sources, and chains-of-custody safe? How can reporters counter active efforts to deny documentation and the gathering of testimonies, or report from afar? Is it ethically justifiable to use undercover techniques, and pose as someone else to extract key information? In this practical panel, journalists from three continents share insights and methods for holding war criminals accountable in differing contexts.
