Institutional Framework — Phase I

Foundations of Human Rights Verification & Open-Source Intelligence Research

A public educational booklet outlining twelve proposed institutional frameworks covering investigative methodology, ethical conduct, privacy, editorial standards, evidence management, source protection, risk assessment, independence, and quality assurance.

Rather than treating allegations as findings, this framework describes how claims can be defined, tested against independent sources, documented with uncertainty, and reviewed before publication.
