description The role of technology, including the use of digital open sources, is rapidly expanding in international criminal investigations. Modern armed conflicts are being documented in a manner never before possible and the amount of relevant contemporaneous information available to investigators would have been inconceivable in the past. Access to technology further affords opportunities to those affected by conflict-related violence to better document and illuminate the crimes perpetrated against them.

However, the use of technologies may simultaneously inflict invisibilities and perpetuate bias, including regarding the investigation and documentation of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV). It is therefore crucial that international criminal investigators and prosecutors of SGBV atrocity crimes employ an ethical, comprehensive, and consistent methodological approach to the use of technology.
