INVESTIGATIONS BEST PRACTICE TRAINING & ACTION-LEARNING
To strengthen knowledge foundations of NGOs, lawyers, investigators, and grassroots and youth groups, we offer structured, interactive training programs, supplemented with action-learning, on international criminal standards for collecting and preserving evidence (with a focus on linkage evidence, the most difficult type of evidence to collect), case building, and accountability mechanisms. Our curriculum is informed by actual cases, with all the challenges and investigative elements, and tailored to participants’ context. To fully transfer knowledge and ensure implementation of new skills and techniques, we also offer case-focused mentoring after our trainings.
WORKSHOP ON FINANCIAL DIMENSIONS OF ATROCITIES
Our lawyers specializing in Banking & Atrocity Crimes run workshops to develop and implement strategies to hold financiers and financial institutions facilitating mass crimes accountable. This workshop provides training on financial investigations and financial accountability legal theories, ranging from theories under International Criminal Law to anti-money laundering and other financial crimes. Together, we identify potentially viable cases and legal mechanisms that could be pursued in specific contexts relevant to participants.
