Editor’s Note: As part of GIJN’s ongoing effort to educate and assist journalists who are investigating war crimes, we have also created a series of databases and resource lists for reporters interested in this subject.
Below you’ll find a link to useful resources produced by GIJN as well as a running list of tipsheets on specific topics related to war crimes and atrocities.
GIJN has put together a comprehensive war crimes reporting resource list of webinars and lectures; databases and organizations; case studies and reports; books, academic papers, and podcasts; as well as other guides and tipsheets.
An accurate understanding of the applicable laws by journalists can ensure and improve credible reporting on atrocities, and raise awareness of potential violations. Here’s a condensed explainer on the legal issues related to war conduct excepted from Dr. Claire Simmons’ full chapter in the Reporter’s Guide to Investigating War Crimes.

The Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative and Digital Forensic Research Lab invite you to join us for a public event on “Deconstructing the Israel-Hamas Disinformation War” on Thursday, November 16, 2023, from 12:30 – 2:30 PM ET.
The October 7 Hamas terror attack and subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza have been accompanied by a globe-spanning information conflict. Please join us for two panel discussions on how disinformation, digital war propaganda, and social media platform policies have collided to help shape public perception of the crisis.
The first panel discussion “Trust and Safety in Times of Violence” will dive into how during the first stages of the Israel-Hamas war, social media platforms have navigated urgent and often competing policy demands. These include ensuring the safety of users in conflict areas, abiding by applicable national and international laws, reducing the spread of false or misleading content, and protecting global freedom of expression. How should tech company policymakers approach this complex challenge? And what should they consider in the weeks and months ahead?

Q&A: David Patrikarakos on covering war in Israel and Gaza
Under Siege
Ukrainian journalists covering their country while living through war
On the facade of the small, ornate Stalinist building that houses the National Union of Journalists in central Kyiv, there is a brass plaque commemorating the life of Georgiy Gongadze, the founder of the country’s paper of record, Ukrainiska Pravda. He was murdered, his beheaded body discovered in a forest in 2000, less than a decade after the country gained independence from the Soviet Union.
The person who ordered Gongadze’s murder is still at large; Gongadze’s death gave rise to a protest movement against Leonid Kuchma, the autocrat who served as Ukraine’s president until 2005. In the decade that followed, the country went through two revolutions and established a democracy; its independent press targeted government corruption.
More journalists lost their lives during that period; the memorial lists some twenty other names below Gongadze’s. Yet since February 2022, when Russia’s deadly invasion began, the dangers facing Ukrainian reporters have been worse than ever before.
