BASIC PRACTICES STEP 3 Determine Which Images to Film To hold someone accountable for a crime, lawyers must prove: • What crime was committed; • Who committed the crime; • How the perpetrator committed the crime (i.e. whether it was with their own hands, if they planned it, ordered the crime, etc.). Citizens and activists are often well situated to capture footage of a crime being committed, but it is much more difficult to document who committed the crime and how they did it. Investigators and lawyers spend the majority of their time trying to prove the latter, so while footage documenting the commission of crimes is valuable, capturing the “Who” and “How” is also important for long-term justice and accountability. This is especially true in situations where there are mass atrocities and systemic human rights violations. ? WHAT • • • • • • MURDER TORTURE RAPE PROPERTY DAMAGE EXCESSIVE FORCE ETC.
