Our Mission
“Above all, what The Reckoning Project wants, is to eradicate impunity and bring justice.”
– Janine di Giovanni
The Reckoning Project fights for truth and justice, and against disinformation and impunity, both in the court of public opinion and the courts of law.
Our team has learned firsthand that in too many horrifying conflicts, national and international courts have dismissed testimonies collected by journalists due to discrepancies between legal and journalistic modes of investigation. The Reckoning Project is closing this gap by training conflict journalists and researchers to swiftly record, collect, and conserve witness statements in a way to preserve their integrity for use in a court of law. We also ensure that any published stories in the court of public opinion are grounded in law. We counter propaganda and disinformation by writing the truth.
The truth is in our evidence, and evidence does not lie.
