The creation of an electronic case-file database

On 17 May, Wayamo held a workshop on the creation of an electronic case-file database and the usage of digital evidence in international criminal investigations. 

The Wayamo Foundation together with the Complex Casework Group (CCG) are jointly creating an electronic case-file database to serve as a repository for terrorism files and their corresponding judgements. This database will also serve to build more complex cases which may address international crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

The workshop followed a hybrid model, with the participants in Abuja and the majority of the experts -both international and Nigerian- joining us via Zoom. Topics addressed covered case-file metadata analysis, evidence management, and the usage of digital evidence in international criminal investigations.
