Without Global Accountability, There is no International Security

Our Mission

When war crimes go unpunished, violence always returns. The Reckoning Project exists to end that cycle–closing the gap between atrocity and accountability to build a safer, more just world.

Who We Are

The Reckoning Project was founded by acclaimed war correspondent and academic Janine di Giovanni and disinformation expert Peter Pomerantsev in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Our Methodology

We work alongside local investigators, journalists, and lawyers to document atrocity crimes to international legal standards. Through trauma-informed testimony collection and rigorous investigations, we develop prosecution-ready evidence with a particular focus on establishing individual and command responsibility. Beyond the courtroom, we work with leading media partners to ensure survivors' testimony shapes both legal proceedings and the public record. By combining criminal investigations, international law, and strategic communications, we advance accountability while preserving the truth.
