Cases
The files around which the archive is organised.
The File
The historical archive
Each case is gathered here as a separate file: the timeline of events, the statements of those involved, the evidence that accompanies them, and any replies from third parties.
In the open
Documents, not vague claims
The archive keeps together the 1991 eyewitness book, the public documents and the path of an officer who lived the events.
Every claim is linked to its source. The reader sees the material and judges.
How the file is structured
Four parts to every case
Timeline
The events, with the date or period that is actually known.
Statements
Who said what, when, and in what capacity.
Evidence
Documents and material that accompany each claim.
Illustrative example — not a real case
Sample
This is how a case will look
A real case will include a short description, a timeline, the relevant statements and the evidence supporting them — all publicly accessible, unless something has a legal reason to remain restricted.
Everything, even a lie, serves the truth. Shadows do not put out the sun.
The rules of the archive
Documentation and the right of reply
How we handle evidence
Each piece of evidence carries provenance details and is checked so it is certain the archive has not been altered. This certifies the integrity of the archive — not necessarily the truth of its content.
Right of reply
Anyone named in a case may submit their own reply, which is published separately and dated, without silently replacing the original publication.
