Roundtable discussions with world-leading practitioners and scholars about the opportunities and challenges of open source investigations, to mark a new publication.

How did a journalist find out who was responsible for bombing hospitals in Syria from his desk in New York? How can South Sudanese monitors safely track and detail the weapons in their communities and make sure that global audiences take notice? How do researchers in London coordinate worldwide work uncovering global corruption? What are policy-makers, lawyers, and intelligence agencies doing to keep up with and make use of these activities?

Join us for the launch of “Open Source Investigations in the Age of Google,” a compelling exploration into how threats to human security are being tracked in revolutionary new ways. This book delves into the intricacies of monitoring and documenting human rights abuses, political violence, nuclear weapons, corruption, radicalization, and conflict through open source investigations.

In an era dominated by digital information, open source investigations offer a transformative approach to addressing global security challenges. While these investigations are neither easy to conduct nor straightforward to apply, they hold immense potential for strengthening security when carried out with diligence and effort.
