Digital Witness: Using Open Source Information for Human Rights Investigation, Documentation, and Accountability de Sam Dubberley

Digital Witness: Using Open Source Information for Human Rights Investigation, Documentation, and Accountability

Editat de Sam Dubberley, Alexa Koenig, Daragh Murray
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 ian 2020

Subliniem faptul că, în peisajul actual al documentării abuzurilor internaționale, informația brută a devenit o armă cu două tăișuri. Digital Witness se poziționează ca un manual tehnic indispensabil, fiind prima lucrare care sistematizează riguros metodologia cercetării din surse deschise (OSINT). Complementar volumului The Transformation of Human Rights Fact-Finding de Philip Alston, care analizează evoluția teoretică a constatării faptelor, acest manual acoperă zona tehnică și procedurală pe care celălalt nu o atinge: verificarea concretă și autentificarea probelor digitale pentru a rezista rigorilor juridice.

Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în abordarea pragmatică a „zgomotului” informațional. Într-o eră în care imaginile satelitare și înregistrările de pe telefoanele mobile pot fi manipulate sau scoase din context, editorii Sam Dubberley, Alexa Koenig și Daragh Murray oferă protocoale clare pentru transformarea postărilor de pe rețelele sociale în dovezi de necontestat. Dacă în lucrarea anterioară, Reading Visual Investigations, accentul era pus pe intersecția dintre arhitectură și justiție, Digital Witness extinde acest spectru, devenind un ghid de bune practici etice și metodologice pentru investigatori.

Suntem de părere că cititorul va dobândi o înțelegere profundă a modului în care tehnologia poate revoluționa tragerea la răspundere penală. Structura cărții ghidează specialistul prin procesul de triere a propagandei și dezinformării, oferind instrumente specifice pentru jurnaliști și avocați. Este o resursă esențială pentru oricine activează într-un mediu saturat de informații, unde capacitatea de a valida adevărul digital reprezintă fundamentul oricărei acțiuni umanitare sau legale moderne.

Descriere

From videos of rights violations, to satellite images of environmental degradation, to eyewitness accounts disseminated on social media, human rights practitioners have access to more data today than ever before. To say that mobile technologies, social media, and increased connectivity are having a significant impact on human rights practice would be an understatement. Modern technology - and the enhanced access it provides to information about abuse - has the potential to revolutionise human rights reporting and documentation, as well as the pursuit of legal accountability.However, these new methods for information gathering and dissemination have also created significant challenges for investigators and researchers. For example, videos and photographs depicting alleged human rights violations or war crimes are often captured on the mobile phones of victims or political sympathisers. The capture and dissemination of content often happens haphazardly, and for a variety of motivations, including raising awareness of the plight of those who have been most affected, or for advocacy purposes with the goal of mobilising international public opinion. For this content to be of use to investigators it must be discovered, verified, and authenticated. Discovery, verification, and authentication have, therefore, become critical skills for human rights organisations and human rights lawyers.This book is the first to cover the history, ethics, methods, and best-practice associated with open source research. It is intended to equip the next generation of lawyers, journalists, sociologists, data scientists, other human rights activists, and researchers with the cutting-edge skills needed to work in an increasingly digitized, and information-saturated environment.

Recenzii

In this compelling volume, beautifully edited by Sam Dubberley, Alexa Koenig, and Daragh Murray - and featuring the contributions of leading scholars, experts, journalists and lawyers - the role technology can now play in sharpening our investigations into gross human rights abuses is examined in commendable detail. The contributors to Digital Witness have, much to their credit, analyzed meticulously all significant and relevant angles. It is a volume that will fast become the standard text for anyone interested in human rights, the collection of evidence in the digital age, and the prosecution of those who perpetrate gross human rights violations.
Digital Witness demonstrates, as no other volume has done, how the digital age has opened up vast new opportunities for accountability. It shows how journalists and human rights researchers are solving mysteries that once seemed unsolvable, from responsibility for terrorism to the identity of perpetrators and victims of international crimes. Fact-finders no longer only travel to the front-lines of battle or trudge through dusty archives; they can learn, verify, preserve and explain using openly available digital tools. With expert input from around the world, Digital Witness is bound to become a key source for open source investigators -- and for students and professionals aiming to make visible what previously has only been hidden.
Digital Witness is an essential piece of guidance/reading, as it captures what anyone who believes in the truth as a tool for justice, must know. In a world rife with disinformation and overwhelmed with large volumes of videos documenting human rights abuses, this book pragmatically and effectively provides us with roadmap to make it possible for a "cameras everywhere" world to lead to/become a just world. For anyone who is a civic witness, an investigator, an activist, or a lawyer, or an ordinary person who has ever seen or shared an eye witness account capturing a human rights abuse, Digital Witness is essential reading. What the authors have done is make us understand the very concrete ways that open source information can deliver justice - it is both an essential roadmap and a much needed guide. So that, when the world witnesses human rights crimes, the promise of technology in service of human rights, can be realized.
The acceleration of armed conflict has also amplified the information it generates. […] in near real time, as events unfold and on the terms of those producing them. This creates and embroils them in a secondary conflict […]. When attempting to analyse and investigate events, noise, propaganda, disinformation and bias get dangerously entangled with valuable first-hand testimonies. Human rights investigators and conflict monitors must therefore match the speed of contemporary conflict and the agility of information technologies. They can no longer afford to only engage with the gathering of testimonies well after the fact, but must develop skills in real time analysis […]. How great it is, then, that the editors of this book have gathered a group of pioneering practitioners and scholars, to produce what is a guide book for both activists and investigators and for all students of our saturated visual cultures.
