Documenting Identity-Based Violence Manual
This manual, which is part of a series that follows the Countering Identity-based violence Manual published in 2023, focuses on the elements needed to establish three key international crimes: genocide, incitement to genocide and persecution as a crime against humanity. These specific crimes are relevant to the Sudanese context where there have been widespread reports of violence against civilians that are motivated on the basis of ethnicity.
Examples from relevant case law, particularly from the international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda are provided to show how the specific intent was established in other cases - either through direct evidence or the use of inferences.
It is also available in Arabic.

The Manual was developed with support from Matrix Causes Fund.
