The report comes at an important moment. As #AI is increasingly present in #justice, its uses must respond to victims' realities, risks + needs. Our ongoing research looks at these questions: Are existing tech governance frameworks equipped for #TJ? Where do gaps remain?

Thanks to @InovasOrg, @Yasmenmashan, @ImpunityWatch, and @SCM_Syria for the engaging event. We are proud that families, victims, and CSOs were the key to establishing the @IIMPSyria as the first @UN entity to search for the missing in a specific context.
