Created in 2024, the ICCD brings together professionals and academics from varied backgrounds: international law, international relations, diplomacy, criminal investigations, asylum law, security, IT, etc. Each member is employed in their area of expertise to research, centralise and analyse intelligence relating to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed around the world.<\/p>

We all share the conviction that international law must be enforced to protect human life and dignity, or failing this, that those responsible for crimes must be judicially repressed.<\/strong><\/h5>

The Documentation operates on the principle of cooperation and complementarity with State, international and private actors working in good faith to repress war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. By combining the use of open-source intelligence with networks of partners and human sources, the ICCD produces judicially actionable data for investigators, magistrates and lawyers working in this field.\u00a0<\/p>

Due to the stakes involved, the identities of our members and sources are, in principle, kept confidential.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

La DCCI m\u00e8ne 4 initiatives cl\u00e9s pour documenter les crimes internationaux, en veillant \u00e0 ce que les renseignements judiciairement exploitables soient accessibles aux autorit\u00e9s judiciaires \u00e9tatiques et aux organisations internationales comp\u00e9tentes (Cour p\u00e9nale internationale, etc).<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    THE ATLAS\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

    Objective :<\/strong> To develop an interactive cartographic tool that geolocates international crimes and presents the context in which they are committed. The constitutive elements are presented in a format that is easily exploitable for judicial use: synthetic but exhaustive, neutral and factual. This information is intended for legal professionals, journalists and human rights organizations.<\/p>

    Key elements :<\/strong><\/p>

    • Implementation of a mapping system that records crimes worldwide.<\/li>
    • Feeding a centralized database with available OSINT and HUMINT, including testimonies and information gathered from ICCD\u2019s sources networks on the field.<\/li>
    • Development of reliable, secure digital tools for documentation analysis.<\/li><\/ul> <\/div>\n\t\t \n
      \n\t\t\t\t

      PARTNERSHIP WITH JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES AND SPECIALIZED INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

      Objective :<\/strong>\u00a0To cooperate with international criminal justice professionals, in order to improve the circulation of information relevant to penal prosecution.<\/p>

      Key elements :<\/strong><\/p>

      • Organize the circulation of information, while respecting the procedural confidentiality of the investigation, and lead networks of partners.<\/li>
      • File formal complaints when facts are discovered or when suspects are identified, and provide the relevant documentation to support legal proceedings, for the benefit of magistrates and investigative authorities.<\/li>
      • If an alleged perpetrator is located in a foreign State, report the fact to the local judicial authorities, or transmit the information to a local NGO so that they may file a legal complaint in their own country.<\/li><\/ul> <\/div>\n\t\t \n
        \n\t\t\t\t

        TRAINING JOURNALISTS IN CRIMINAL DOCUMENTATION<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

        Objective :<\/strong>\u00a0To strengthen the capacity of journalists to effectively document violations of international law, taking into account relevant parameters from a judicial standpoint.<\/p>

        Key elements :<\/strong><\/p>

        • Develop specialized training to document exactions in a context of armed conflict.<\/li>
        • Workshops on specific investigative techniques and collecting testimonies from victims of violence, while taking into account the sensibility of their situation.<\/li>
        • Creation of training materials dedicated to journalists covering war crimes.<\/li><\/ul> <\/div>\n\t\t \n

          SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS WHO ARE REFUGEES IN FRANCE<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

          Objective :<\/strong> Fournir aux victimes de la guerre et des pers\u00e9cutions la possibilit\u00e9 de s\u2019exprimer dans un cadre s\u00e9curisant. Ceci inclut un suivi avec des conseils juridiques, et la collecte d’information pour alimenter les bases de donn\u00e9es de la DCCI. Ceci valorise la voix des victimes et permet d\u2019utiliser leur t\u00e9moignage pour renforcer le renseignement et organiser la r\u00e9pression p\u00e9nale des auteurs.<\/p>

          Key elements :<\/strong><\/p>

          • Collecting testimonies from victims or witnesses in order to integrate the intelligence into the organisation's databases.<\/li>
          • Legal advice and adapted follow-up, taking into account the individual\u2019s profile and any vulnerabilities they may have.<\/li><\/ul> <\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
