SUMMARY:Using technology to combat human rights violations
DESCRIPTION:\nWendy Betts\, Director of eyeWitness to Atrocities\nAs Ukrain
 e\, Syria\, and other conflicts around the world have demonstrated\, citiz
 en captured photos and videos tell a very powerful story about war crimes 
 and other serious human rights violations.  However\, photo and video tak
 en with a standard mobile camera can be easily manipulated and difficult t
 o verify.  Therefore\, the potential for its use as evidence to hold the 
 perpetrators of these crimes to account is vastly diminished.  This prese
 ntation will discuss the challenges to using photo and video as evidence a
 nd how technology is being brought to bear to address them.\n\nBio:\n\n[ca
