This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work outlines available resources and proposed standards for international NGO fact-finding missions. Chapter One presents an introduction to the issue of NGO fact-finding. Chapter Two discusses the problems caused by the lack of any generally-accepted guidelines for NGO fact-finding, in contrast with contexts where NGOs have achieved consensus. Chapter Three surveys proposed guidelines for human rights and humanitarian NGOs. In addition, this section examines United Nations fact-finding standards, as well as examples of internal fact-finding standards for major NGOs. Chapter Four analyzes the fact-finding standards used in five specific cases: the International Crisis Group (Kosovo, 1999), the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia (Georgia, 2008), United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Mapping Exercise on the Democratic Republic of Congo (1993-2003), Conflict Analysis Resource Center/University London study on Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (Colombia, 1988-2004), and Human Rights Watch (Lebanon, 2006). The final chapter offers conclusions and recommendations.
Download or read book The Transformation of Human Rights Fact finding written by Philip Alston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact-finding is at the heart of human rights advocacy, and is often at the center of international controversies about alleged government abuses. In recent years, human rights fact-finding has greatly proliferated and become more sophisticated and complex, while also being subjected to stronger scrutiny from governments. Nevertheless, despite the prominence of fact-finding, it remains strikingly under-studied and under-theorized. Too little has been done to bring forth the assumptions, methodologies, and techniques of this rapidly developing field, or to open human rights fact-finding to critical and constructive scrutiny. The Transformation of Human Rights Fact-Finding offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of fact-finding with rigorous and critical analysis of the field of practice, while providing a range of accounts of what actually happens. It deepens the study and practice of human rights investigations, and fosters fact-finding as a discretely studied topic, while mapping crucial transformations in the field. The contributions to this book are the result of a major international conference organized by New York University Law School's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice. Engaging the expertise and experience of the editors and contributing authors, it offers a broad approach encompassing contemporary issues and analysis across the human rights spectrum in law, international relations, and critical theory. This book addresses the major areas of human rights fact-finding such as victim and witness issues; fact-finding for advocacy, enforcement, and litigation; the role of interdisciplinary expertise and methodologies; crowd sourcing, social media, and big data; and international guidelines for fact-finding.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a portrait of the practice of monitoring, reporting, and fact-finding in the domain of human rights, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law. By analyzing the experiences of fifteen missions implemented over the course of the past decade, the book illuminates the key issues that these missions face and offers a roadmap for practitioners working on future missions. This book is the result of a five-year research study led by the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research at Harvard University, Massachusetts. Based on extensive interviews conducted with fact-finding practitioners, this book consists of two parts. Part I offers a handbook that details methodological considerations for the design and implementation of fact-finding missions and commissions of inquiry. Part II - which consists of chapters written by scholars and practitioners - presents a more in-depth, scholarly examination of past fact-finding practices.

Book excerpt: One of the most certain facts about conflicts is uncertainty about facts. To establish the truth and find out what really happened, the international community has been sending fact-finding missions to conflict areas around the world. These missions have been designed to produce legal reports, based on binary legal dichotomies. This article builds on social psychology studies to argue that these missions' reliance on abstract and adversarial legal norms triggers backlash and rejection of factual findings by the perpetrators' societies. Instead of agreeing on a simple set of brute facts, such as the number of fatalities, or concrete causes of death, the focus of attention is shifted to abstract legal norms and to the threat they pose to collective beliefs and identities. Focusing on the U.N. Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict as a case study, this article demonstrates how international efforts to provide conflicting societies with new, credible facts may instead end up intensifying the conflict over 'what happened.' Particularly, the article sheds light on several contemporary challenges to international fact-finding, including their factual contingency, their ambiguous goals and flawed institutional design processes, and their dissemination deficit.Based on an interdisciplinary normative framework and empirical analysis of the Goldstone Mission, the article suggests a new framework to design international fact-finding missions. First, the concept of truth should not be associated exclusively with legal truth, and facts should not be interpreted and evaluated based solely on legal categorization and interpretation; second, long-term goals should be carefully clarified, prioritized, and tailored to the concrete social circumstances; third, fact-finding processes should be matched with the mission's core goal, with a special attention given to institutional structures, participation, and social legitimacy. Finally, in this era of constant challenges to knowledge and information, where 'alternative facts' are frequently produced to counter unwelcomed information, and when critical findings are denounced as 'fake news', international fact-finding missions should be sensitive to the various contingencies of their findings, and adopt a humbler approach concerning the 'indisputable' nature of these findings. By reimagining international fact-finding and rethinking their design processes, International fact-finding missions may contribute to dissemination of threatening information during intractable conflicts in a way which is unattainable by formal legal institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human Rights Council established the independent international fact-finding mission on Myanmar in its resolution 34/22. In accordance with its mandate, the mission focused on the situation in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan States since 2011. It also examined the infringement of fundamental freedoms, including the rights to freedom of expression, assembly and peaceful association, and the question of hate speech. The mission established consistent patterns of serious human rights violations and abuses in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan States, in addition to serious violations of international humanitarian law. These are principally committed by the Myanmar security forces, particularly the military. Their operations are based on policies, tactics and conduct that consistently fail to respect international law, including by deliberately targeting civilians. Many violations amount to the gravest crimes under international law. In the light of the pervasive culture of impunity at the domestic level, the mission finds that the impetus for accountability must come from the international community. It makes concrete recommendations to that end, including that named senior generals of the Myanmar military should be investigated and prosecuted in an international criminaltribunal for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report was prepared by the fact-finding mission established by the Human Rights Council in resolution 14/1 of 2 June 2010 to investigate violations of international law, including international humanitarian law and human rights law, resulting from the interception by Israeli forces of the humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza on 31 May 2010 during which nine people were killed and many others injured. The fact-finding mission conducted interviews with more than 100 witnesses in Geneva, London, Istanbul and Amman. On the basis of this testimony and other information received, the Mission was able to reconstruct a picture of the circumstances surrounding the interception on 31 May 2010 and its aftermath. The report presents a factual description of the events leading up to the ... interception of each of the six ships in the flotilla as well as a seventh ship subsequently intercepted on 6 June 2010, the deaths of nine passengers and wounding of many others and the detention of passengers in Israel and their deportation ... The fact-finding mission concluded that a series of violations of international law ... were committed by the Israeli forces during the interception of the flotilla and during the detention of passengers in Israel prior to deportation."--Summary.
