Olivia Mooney, Kate Pundyk, Nathaniel Raymond and David Simon. “Social Media Evidence of Alleged Gross Human Rights Abuses: Improving Preservation and Access Through Policy Reform.” Mass Atrocities in the Digital Era Initiative (MADE) Working Paper No. 1, March 2021.

Potentially crucial digital evidence of gross human rights violations that occur outside the United States is being lost. The absence of a specific legal mandate and protocol by which this evidence could be routinely preserved and accessed is a problem that the United States Congress will need to help solve. This paper builds on the Yale Genocide Studies Program’s Mass Atrocities in the Digital Era (MADE) initiative’s three-month consultation process with a diverse range of civil society stakeholders working to improve preservation of digital evidence. It considers how U.S. potential liability has limited sharing social media data with stakeholders in the human rights community and presents three potential legal processes to address this issue. This work promotes justice and accountability for alleged gross human rights abuses.

The Transitional Justice Working Group (TJGW) tasked itself with devising a multi-dimensional transitional justice strategy for the United States government to implement in response of the Da’esh’s crimes against the Yazidi. Using the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act of 2018, herby known as the Elie Wiesel Act, as legal framework, the TJGW created a comprehensive transitional justice strategy focused on restitution, reintegration, and prevention. By considering the past, present, and future of the Yazidi, this report has developed a transitional justice strategy focused on improving the current reality of the Yazidi and developing a better future for the Yazidi and Iraq as a whole.  [Updated 9 April 2021]

White Noise: Pro-Government Tactics to Shape Xinjiang Discourse Online are Evolving

Mass Atrocities in the Digital Era (MADE)
Publication Type: Working Paper
 Despite Twitter being blocked in China, tweets  classified as supportive of Chinese state narratives in relation to Xinjiang accounted for a relatively high proportion of the conversation – nearly 1/3 of all content surveyed. Among these tweets, generic positive content designed to promote Xinjiang as a beautiful and exotic tourist destination emerged as a notable theme. Additionally, accounts sympathetic to the Chinese government incorporated far more cross-platform multimedia content in their posts compared to other users, particularly YouTube videos. The prevalence of seemingly authentic users sharing misleading information about Xinjiang on Twitter suggests a need to rethink traditional frameworks for disinformation mitigation and reorient platform efforts towards promoting more balanced conversations.

Zucker, E. M., Ulloa, R., Simon, D.J., Makhortykh, M., & Bultmann, B. (2024). Archiving Holocaust Digital Memorialization: The Lublin District Camps. Digital Archive of Memorialization of Mass Atrocities (DAMMA) Workshop Whitepaper. Yale University: Genocide Studies Program: Mass Atrocities in the Digital Era Working Paper #6.

This white paper considers the potential for a digital archive for the memorialization of mass atrocities (abbreviated herein as DAMMA) that would integrate artificial intelligence (AI) both in the archive’s creation and its use. Based on the proceedings of a workshop held in July 2023 in Bochum, Germany, at the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS), the workshop addressed conceptual and practical questions regarding the scope, form, benefits and limitations, usage, development, and ethics of DAMMA. The workshop also considered the parameters of a pilot version of DAMMA, focusing on the memorialization practices regarding Holocaust sites in the Lublin district (e.g., Majdanek or Sobibor).
