We believe in a simple vision: A world where those who commit the worst international crimes are held responsible for their actions. We use an innovative approach, combining law and technology, to make this a reality.
1
First, we provide the eyeWitness to Atrocities mobile camera app; allowing you to record photos and videos that are embedded with the metadata needed to demonstrate their authenticity to a court.
2
Second, the way we transmit and store the footage creates a chain of custody to allow the photos to be used as evidence in court.

Third, eyeWitness catalogues the footage it receives and compiles it into dossiers for submission to international or national investigators.
eyeWitness works with partner organisations to capture photo and video to build dossiers of evidence. We have collaborated with civil society, litigation groups, the private sector, domestic and international courts, the United Nations and other international investigators to facilitate justice.
