Linea Rubra is an NGO that researches and investigates human rights violations, crimes against humanity, and violations of international criminal law. We combine a constructivist framework with contemporary research methods, such as open source intelligence (OSINT) and satellite intelligence (SATINT), to expose patterns of violence. By collecting, verifying, and connecting dispersed evidence, we can understand the dynamics and the circumstances that generated these abuses, and map the networks of actors and institutions responsible.

Our goal is accountability for the people, institutions and systems responsible for human rights abuses, and we hope that our research can be useful in furthering the transitional justice process. While it might be impossible to completely eradicate violence from our world, we believe it’s important to examine and expose the instances where the metaphorical red line is crossed: this is the work of Linea Rubra.
