An evening in conversation with award-winning journalists, authors, scholars, and human rights activists Janine di Giovanni and Peter Pomerantsev.
Ms. Di Giovanni and Mr. Pomerantsev are co-founders of The Reckoning Project: Ukraine Testifies (@TRPUkraine), a transitional justice organization established after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The Reckoning Project is comprised of journalists, storytellers, international lawyers, human rights activists, and database scientists, among other professionals and advocates dedicated to truth-telling. The project trains researchers in Ukraine to collect testimonies of war crimes and crimes against humanity according to legal evidentiary standards that can be used in court. They set up the project to bridge the gap between journalism and justice in partnership with Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk. Their unit was the first to report on the abduction of Ukrainian children and their illegal displacement to Russian territories.
