Our Projects

At Fénix Foundation, we envision a world where lawyers drive innovation in order to uphold and actualise humanitarian standards. Our projects sit at key intersection points between international justice, peace, and accountability and technology. 

Digital Evidence in Domestic Courts

Digital evidence is playing an increasingly important role in the prosecution of atrocity crimes. Despite this, there is a lack of guidance on how digital material should be approached as evidence. The Digital Evidence in Domestic Evidence Project addresses this problem through the creation of domestic law guidelines on digital evidence.

DDE GPT

The 2022 Leiden Guidelines on Digitally Derived Evidence (‘DDE’) in International Criminal Courts and Tribunals, hosted at at leiden-guidelines.com, serve as a primer for investigators and lawyers on how to treat different forms of DDE. Fénix and its partners are developing a generative AI chatbot that will help users to quickly navigate and apply the Leiden Guidelines and its associated resources.

Unlocking Digital Evidence - online course

Building on our in-depth knowledge of standards applicable to digital evidence in international justice, we are developing an online training course that will help CSOs align their work practices with the evidentiary requirements of criminal courts.
