Verification
We seek independent corroboration before describing contested information as confirmed. Visual material is checked for source, date, location and signs of manipulation or recycled footage where possible.
Claims
Statements from governments, militaries, armed groups, activists or witnesses are clearly attributed. A claim is not presented as an established fact solely because a primary source published it.
Graphic material
Graphic imagery is used only when there is a clear public-interest reason. We avoid gratuitous violence and provide warnings where appropriate.
AI assistance
AI tools may assist with research organisation, transcription, translation, formatting and drafting. Human editorial review remains required before publication.
