Description

This global program supports the documentation of human rights violations and abuses, transforming this information into credible, actionable, policy-relevant data to support U.S. and allied sanctions, visa restrictions, law enforcement, and other accountability measures. The program aims to improve the volume, quality, accessibility, and analytical use of locally generated information that meets evidentiary standards used by the U.S. and its allies. It addresses critical gaps limiting the operational use of documentation efforts and enables burden-sharing. Priority regions include Yemen, Syria, Cuba, Haiti, DPRK, Burma, and Pacific Islands, focusing on themes such as atrocities, gross human rights violations, and transnational repression.
