我们很荣幸能与 eyeWitness to Atrocities（暴行目击者项目）组织合作，该非营利机构运用安全技术收集、核实并保存严重侵犯人权及其他犯罪行为的视觉证据。
We apply our legal expertise to review and analyse footage gathered from conflict zones and other high-risk environments, helping to determine whether the documented acts could constitute evidence of war crimes or other violations of international law.
Why this work matters
For victims and affected communities, verified evidence is often the only route to accountability. However, gathering that evidence in volatile situations is fraught with risk and, without proper authentication, it can be dismissed in court.
eyeWitness bridges this gap by equipping frontline documenters with a mobile app that records unfiltered, unaltered photos and videos, complete with embedded metadata proving time, date and location. The files are encrypted and stored in a secure legal repository with a verified chain of custody.
What we do
...ensuring that vital evidence does not get lost or disregarded."’
Simon Bollans, Partner and Head of Technology Sector
Our lawyers work alongside the eyeWitness team to review and analyse all material, including tagging, cataloguing and processing the visual evidence to meet the requirements of investigators so that it may be provided to the international, regional and/or national bodies that are best placed to act on the information.
By combining cutting-edge documentation technology with rigorous legal analysis, we help transform raw footage into actionable evidence that can stand up in judicial proceedings.
Partner and head of our technology sector, Simon Bollans, leads our partnership with eyeWitness and recognises the role technology can play in securing justice:
"This partnership allows us to use our skills to support justice efforts around the world. It also offers our lawyers the opportunity to work at the intersection of human rights and technology - ensuring that vital evidence does not get lost or disregarded."
