The guide explains when to best use a controlled capture app (if at all) to collect and preserve information in a way that it can be admissible as evidence in court.</strong></p> <p>Smartphones have dramatically increased anyone's ability to expose global injustice digitally. Digital content can often be utilised for advocacy when injustice occurs. However, could your footage also be accepted as evidence in court?</p> <p>Proving the provenance, authenticity, and integrity of footage – as well as ensuring that neither the footage nor metadata have been altered since captured – are essential when documenting for accountability. Controlled capture apps can assist you in collecting information that meets those standards. However, it is not always easy to decide when such a tool can support your work.</p> <p>Our guide provides a simple framework for human rights defenders and civil society organisations to decide whether a controlled capture app is the right tool to support their documentation work for either advocacy or accountability.</p> <p class="disclaimer"><strong>IMPORTANT! Documenting atrocity crimes carries high security risks, so we recommend carefully considering the app adoption roadmap included in our guide before incorporating documentation technology into your documentation workflow.</strong></p> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"><a href="documents/2023-eyeWitness-new-resource-launch.pdf"><img class="img-fluid w-100" alt="" src="img/2023-eyewitness-new-resource-photo.png"> </a> <div class="o-layout-container"> <div class="c-para-cta c-para-cta--download" id="c-para-cta--download_2"> <p class="o-in-para-heading"><p><strong>Read our new resource, When to use the eyeWitness to Atrocities app?</strong></p></p> <p class="text-center"><a class="download btn btn-primary btn-resources" href="documents/2023-eyeWitness-new-resource-launch.pdf" style="box-shadow: none">Download report</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h6 class="share">Related links:</h6> <ul class="include-bullet related-links"> <li><a href="eyewitness-2022-impact-report.html">2022 in review: The role of eyeWitness in bringing perpetrators of atrocity crimes to justice</a></li> <li><a href="eyewitness-and-partners-launch-new-report-on-attacks-on-ukraines-health-care-system">Report launch: eyeWitness and human rights investigators showcase new ground-breaking data on destruction and devastation of Ukraine’s healthcare infrastructure following Russia's invasion</a></li> <li><a href="eyewitness-submitted-evidence-of-human-rights-violations-committed-in-Chernihiv-to-UN">eyeWitness submitted evidence of human rights violations committed in Chernihiv to UN Commission of Inquiry</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="footer"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-10 offset-md-1 col-wrap"> <div class="row no-margin connect-row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 connect-col"><a title="Connect with us" href="connect.html" class="btn btn-primary btn-connect">Connect with us</a></div> </div> <div class="row no-margin connect-other-row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12" > <div class="connect-links-col"> <ul class="social"> <li><a title="Follow eyeWitness on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/eyewitnessorg?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener" ><img alt="Follow eyeWitness on twitter" class="social-icon" src="img/twitter.svg"></a></li> <li><a title="Follow eyeWitness on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/eyewitnesstoatrocities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" ><img alt="Follow eyeWitness on Facebook" class="social-icon" src="img/facebook.svg"></a></li> <li><a title="Subscribe to eyeWitness's Youtube channel" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-cww3Wwuoz9GQ1dmBstxPg" target="_blank" rel="noopener" ><img alt="Subscribe to eyeWitness's Youtube channel" class="social-icon" src="img/youtube.svg"></a></li> </ul> <ul class="connect-links hidden-sm"> <li><a title="Press enquiries" href="press.html">Press enquiries</a></li> <li><a title="Technical support" href="connect.html#tech">Technical support</a></li> <li><a title="Partner with us" href="connect.html#partner">Partner with us</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row no-margin bottom-row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12"> <div class="bottom-col"> <ul class="photography"> <li><a title="Photography www.anastasiataylorlind.com" href="http://www.anastasiataylorlind.com/">Photography © www.anastasiataylorlind.com</a></li> </ul> <ul class="languages"> <li><a href="AR/welcome.html">العربية</a></li> <li><a href="ES/welcome.html">Español</a></li> <li><a href="FR/welcome.html">Français</a></li> <li><a href="RU/welcome.html">Русский</a></li> </ul> <ul class="other-links"> <li><a title="Read our user agreement" href="user-agreement.html">User agreement</a></li> <li><a title="Read our privacy policy" href="privacy-policy.html">Privacy policy</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-10 offset-md-1 col-wrap"> <div class="row no-margin bottom-row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12"> <div class="bottom-col"> <ul> <li>eyeWitness to Atrocities charity number 1156242</li> </ul> <ul class="back-to-top-wrap"> <li> <a href="#one" title="Back to top" class="back-to-top"><i class="icon-sprite arrow-up"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div>   <script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="js/eu-cookie-banner.js"></script> <script src="js/EW.js"></script>  </body> </html>
