This project uses open-source data to support independent investigative mechanisms examining atrocities in northern Afghanistan. Through satellite imagery, social media verification, and digital mapping, it documents patterns of targeted violence in areas where on-the-ground monitoring is limited. The project seeks to strengthen the evidentiary foundation for future accountability efforts and to demonstrate how digital methodologies can expand access to justice in contexts where traditional oversight has collapsed.
