Managing Team

Researchers

The Reckoning Project has enlisted a team of experienced Ukrainian researchers and journalists. They've received training in legal literacy and fact-gathering processes that adhere to international legal standards. These researchers have also received sensitivity and trauma training to protect both themselves and the individuals from whom they will be collecting the testimonies. Testimonies collected are done so in accordance with the Berkeley Protocol, as well as the Do No Harm Principles.

Due to security concerns, the names of some researchers working in occupied areas have been removed.
