New Documentation Guidelines Released for Digital Evidence

We have published updated guidelines for documenting human rights violations using digital tools. These guidelines address recent challenges in ensuring digital evidence is admissible in court and meets international standards.

The guidelines cover:

• Best practices for capturing photo and video evidence
• Methods to verify and preserve the authenticity of digital evidence
• Secure storage and chain of custody protocols
• Ethical considerations when documenting sensitive cases
• Protection measures for victims and witnesses

The guidelines are available in English, Luganda, and Swahili, and can be downloaded from our resource center. We also offer a mobile app that guides users through proper documentation procedures in real-time.
