Methodology
La Documentation Centrale des Crimes Internationaux – DCCI • ICCD – International Crimes Central Documentation centralises data from its investigations on an interactive world map that locates acts that may constitute international crimes, with details about the alleged perpetrators, victims and circumstances of the acts.
In parallel, lists of these crimes are compiled by country, and organizational charts of belligerent entities are developed, taking into account the chain of command. This approach clarifies the general crisis circumstances in which specific acts are committed and gathers information useful from a judicial perspective.
All sources are cited, except in cases where there is a risk of reprisal against witnesses. In such situations, the safety of human sources is prioritized, and information that could lead to their identification is neither published nor transmitted to a court without their consent. In all cases, the use of sources adheres to scientific methodological rigor to produce reliable information. Each piece of information is cross-checked with independent sources.
Our method is aligned with international standards, such as the Berkeley's Protocole on open source investigations.
