Four founding missions

We study the migration routes — from the Sahara to the Libyan coast, from transit camps to unofficial prisons — to make visible what states and criminal networks work to erase.

Drawing on survivors' accounts, field investigations and open data, we publish reports documenting human-rights violations: torture, trafficking, slavery, enforced disappearance.

Our work feeds into international organisations, investigative journalism and the courts called upon to try these crimes.

Our findings speak to the reference work of international institutions: the publications of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on Libya and the record of disappearances along the migration routes kept by the International Organization for Migration's Missing Migrants Project.

Justice is one pillar of dignity regained. We support criminal proceedings against traffickers, torturers and the networks involved in violence along the routes of exile.

Joining proceedings as a civil party, working with lawyers specialising in international criminal law, filing complaints under universal jurisdiction — we carry these fights when national courts step aside.

Our aim: to break impunity and to obtain recognition and reparation for victims.

These efforts are part of the demand for accountability made by the United Nations, as recalled by the UN report on the violations committed in Tarhuna, Libya.
