Registration REQUIRED by 4pm on September 28, 2026 in order to attend this event.
Please join the Harriman Institute for a lecture by Alice Mee. Moderated by Elise Giuliano.
How can perpetrators of war crimes be held accountable when the means and methods of waging war are changing so rapidly? And what do the changing technologies and tactics used in Ukraine today mean for civilians on the ground?
Alice Mee will present recent research on war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine from Truth Hounds, an analytical organization founded in Kyiv in 2014. She will discuss the organization’s approaches to investigating human rights violations in Ukraine and engaging with accountability mechanisms, and will also offer insight into Truth Hounds’ recent findings. In particular, Alice will present the organization’s latest research on the use of short-range drone attacks on humanitarian personnel and first responders, the challenges this poses for civilian self-protection, and the ramifications for civilians in frontline communities.
