Currently, a number of challenges distance the work of these documenters from the needs of investigators. As a result, valuable opportunities to use footage of the worst international crimes to obtain justice are lost.</p> <p>eyeWitness aims to bridge the gap between the documenters of grave human rights violations and the requirements for justice mechanisms to use this information, by providing an innovative system that addresses existing pitfalls.</p> <p class="small-font"><i class="icon-sprite arrow-down" ></i></p></div> </div> </div> <div class="page darkgrey ow" id="two"> <div class="row no-margin"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-10 offset-md-1 col-lg-10 col-xl-10"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12"> <h2>How we work</h2> <p>The eyeWitness approach is based on three pillars.<br> Collectively, these pillars enable us to facilitate justice for the worst international crimes.</p> </div> </div> <div class="scroll"> <div class="row popular-links"> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 pillar-tile "> <div class="pillar-tile-inner pillar1"> <img alt="eyeWitness to Atrocities mobile camera app" title="eyeWitness to Atrocities mobile camera app" src="img/pillar1.png" > <p><strong>First</strong>, the eyeWitness to Atrocities mobile camera app allows you to capture photos and video that are embedded with metadata at the moment the footage was captured. This information helps to verify where and when the footage was taken, and whether it was altered or not.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 pillar-tile "> <div class="pillar-tile-inner pillar2"> <img alt="creates a chain of custody" title="creates a chain of custody" src="img/pillar2.png"> <p><strong>Second</strong>, when you send footage to the eyeWitness server we create a trusted chain of custody, which is the legal term for a record of who has had access to the information captured. This chain demonstrates that the original information has not been changed in any way. Ensuring the security of information stored in our servers is the second pillar of our award-winning technology, and key to allowing photos and video to be used as evidence in court.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 pillar-tile "> <div class="pillar-tile-inner pillar3"> <img alt="catalogues the footage" title="catalogues the footage" src="img/pillar3.png"> <p><strong>Third</strong>, eyeWitness ensures the captured information is processed for justice. All information received by eyeWitness is reviewed by lawyers who tag, catalogue and process this visual evidence to meet the requirements of investigators. In consultation with you, eyeWitness then works to identify the international, regional and/or national bodies best placed to act on the information. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="page darkgrey ow" id="three"> <div title="Using technology to document mass atrocity crimes" class="our-work-bottom-image"></div> <div class="row our-partners-intro"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-10 offset-md-1 col-lg-10 col-xl-10"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-6" > <h2>Our partners</h2> <p>eyeWitness develops close partnerships with frontline organisations which document human rights violations that can amount to core international crimes, and with public interest litigators bringing these cases to trial. For organisations that otherwise would not have access to specialised international lawyers, we help bridge the gap between frontline documenters and accountability mechanisms. In partnership with documenters and legal organisations, we work to ensure that the footage is used to promote accountability.</p> <p>When we partner with civil society and human rights defenders, we
