We identify and expose human rights abuses committed across the world by people using police, security, and military equipment. We track the development of weapons, their procurement and use, and push for stronger controls at each stage. We use our 30 years of global expertise to protect human rights and prevent torture and other grave violations.
As tensions rise in countries across the world and governments increasingly restrict the exercise of fundamental rights, our work is ever more important, with already marginalised groups often the most affected.
We are a small organisation with a huge mission. Reacting to live events and running longer-term projects, we continue to hold perpetrators to account.
