  • Pictures of what look like mass graves. Videos of explosions in city centers. The Internet is awash with potential evidence of human rights abuses in some of the world's most pressing conflicts. But it can be tough to sift the real evidence from the fakes, or to work out exactly what an image shows. This is the challenge facing the Digital Verification Corps. Launched by Amnesty International in October, the corps is training students and researchers to authenticate online images so they can help human rights organizations gather robust evidence on modern-day crimes.
