Abstract

New innovations in human rights fact-finding and criminal investigations
offer both opportunities and challenges for human rights law in
practice.1 As documentation of human rights
violations becomes more difficult and complex, practitioners are exploring
ways to augment their work with new tools and new
methodologies.2 Social media, accessible satellite
data, and even drone technology have expanded the capacity of human rights
investigators to document abuses, even when access to the sites of
atrocities is limited.
