Trump Administration’s Sanctions on the ICC are an Attack on the Rule of Law

The Trump Administration has issued additional sanctions against judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC), further endangering accountability and justice worldwide. Attacks on the ICC were a key factor in HRDAG’s decision to speak out against tyranny in the U.S. late last year, and this ongoing pressure threatens the Court’s ability to do its vital work.   HRDAG condemns these sanctions against the International Criminal Court and calls on the Trump Administration to respect and uphold the independence of the Court.  ​The ICC investigates and prosecutes individuals charged with the gravest crimes: genocide, war crimes, crimes ...

The Rafto Prize 2021 to Human Rights Data Analysis Group

“The Rafto Prize 2021 is awarded to the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG) for their wide-reaching documentation of grave human rights abuses. By using statistics and data science they uncover large-scale human rights violations that might otherwise go undetected.

Unveiling statistical invisibility: The structural racism of the war on drugs, its impact on social inequalities, and the need for citizen data empowerment in Latin America

T20 Brasil

There is no way to address social inequalities in Latin America (LA) without discussing the region’s longstanding security policy: the War on Drugs, characterized by criminalization of historical cultural practices of Black and indigenous communities, the militarization of public security and mass incarceration. It contributes to the region being a leader in global homicides and exacerbates the unequal inclusion of non-white populations.

Deaths in custody during the armed conflict in Syria, 2011–2023

HRDAG

A key question of interest for the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic is how many victims of the ongoing conflict were killed while in custody? Through our long collaboration with both the UN and multiple Syrian documentation groups, our team of data scientists at the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG) have access to documented records of victims killed, under a variety of circumstances, in the Syrian Arab Republic between 2011 and 2023. This report is based on records collected by eight sources documenting deaths in the ongoing armed conflict in Syria.
