The course is designed to provide specialist knowledge and skills to allow participants to identify, collect and utilise financial evidence as part of a broader investigation into war crimes or human rights abuses. It will be a mixture of presentations and immersive exercises.

The course includes:

  • An introduction to the international legal framework
  • The international financial investigation landscape: international regulation & frameworks; law enforcement structures; international cooperation mechanisms
  • Financial investigation – principles & practice: preparation & planning
  • Using open source intelligence: researching & profiling persons of interest; company and business searching

The course will involve an immersive exercise based on a realistic scenario designed to develop and test the learning acquired in the course.

The course was definitely an extraordinary experience.

International Investigator Course Participant

We had a colleague on mission from Geneva a while back, and when they found out I had completed the IICI investigators course they mentioned that it was the ‘gold standard’ of training and that more human rights officers needed to do it. Could not agree more.
