Berkeley Protocol on Digital Open Source Investigations: A Practical Guide on the Effective Use of Digital Open Source Information in Investigating Violations of International Criminal, Human Rights and Humanitarian Law

Berkeley Centre for Human Rights

- Executive summary
- Open source investigations are investigations that rely, in whole or in part, on publicly available information to conduct formal and systematic online inquiries into alleged wrongdoing. Today, large quantities of publicly available information are accessible through the Internet, where a quickly evolving digital landscape has led to new types and sources of information that could assist in the investigation of alleged human rights violations and serious international crimes. The ability to investigate such allegations is of particular value to investigators who cannot physically access crime scenes in a timely manner, which is often the case in international investigations. Open source information can provide leads, support intelligence outputs and serve as direct evidence in courts of law. However, in order for it to be used in formal investigation processes, including legal investigations, fact-finding missions and commissions of inquiry, investigators must employ consistent methods, which both strengthen the accuracy of their findings and allow judges and other fact-finders to better evaluate the quality of the investigation process itself. The Berkeley Protocol on Digital Open Source Investigations was developed to provide international standards and guidance for investigators in the fields of international criminal justice and human rights. Such investigators come from a range of institutions, including media outlets, civil society groups and non-governmental organizations, international organizations, courts, and national and international investigative agencies. The establishment of consistent and measurable standards to support this multidisciplinary arena is a means of professionalizing the practice of open source investigations. While guidelines and training on the use of specific tools and software are an essential part of improving the quality of digital open source investigations, the Berkeley Protocol does not focus on specific technologies, platforms, software or tools, but rather on the underlying principles and methodologies that can be consistently applied, even as the technology itself changes. These principles outline minimum legal and ethical standards for conducting effective open source investigations. By following the guidance in the Berkeley Protocol, investigators will help to ensure the quality of their work, while minimizing the physical, psychosocial and digital risks to themselves and others. The Berkeley Protocol is designed as a teaching tool and a reference guide for open source investigators. Following an introductory chapter, the subsequent three chapters are dedicated to overarching frameworks, including principles, legal considerations and security. The remaining chapters are focused on the investigation process itself. This section of the Berkeley Protocol begins with a chapter on preparation and strategic planning, followed by a chapter dedicated to the various investigatory steps required – namely, online inquiries, preliminary assessment, collection, preservation, verification and investigative analysis. It concludes with a chapter on the methodology and principles for reporting on the findings of an open source investigation.
- Purpose
- The protocol aims to respond to the new environment of open source and digital data, providing tools on dealing with the opportunities and challenges posed by this reality. Consequently, "[t]he Protocol is designed to standardise procedures and provide methodological guidance across disparate investigations, institutions and jurisdictions to assist open source investigators in understanding the importance of: (a) Tracing the provenance of online content and attributing it to its original source, where possible; (b) Evaluating the credibility and reliability of online sources; (c) Verifying online content and assessing its veracity and reliability; (d) Complying with legal requirements and ethical norms; (e) Minimising any risk of harm to themselves, their organisations and third parties; (f) Enhancing protection of the human rights of sources, including the right to privacy".
- Description
- The Berkeley Protocol on Digital Open Source Investigations aims to standardise procedures and provide methodological guidance concerning digital open source investigations. The document addresses the relevant principles in open source investigations from a professional, methodological and ethical standpoint. It also provides the legal framework applicable to these investigations, providing security considerations and relevant guidance for the preparation, the investigative process and the reporting on findings. The Protocol also contains a glossary and a series of annexes, including forms and templates to assist investigators.
