Since 1991, I've been conducting statistical research for human rights projects. With my @hrdag colleagues, I’ve supported ten #TruthCommission + a variety of criminal trials for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and to determine amnesty conditions; #UnitedNations missions in #ElSalvador, #Guatemala, and #DRCongo; and many NGOs in 30+ countries.
