1) Collect specific and detailed information. Think about three kinds
of evidence: testimonial, documentary, and physical.
If you can't get access to a piece of information think about (a) who
Can get at that information and (b) what it will take to get that
Information made available to you or made public.
2) Read and reread the relevant international laws. For example:
http://www.preventgenocide.org/genocide/elements.htm
Look at related international treaties such as the " Protocol
Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the
Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts (1977 Protocol II)"
http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/94.htm
Uganda became a party to the 1977 Additional Protocols on 13 March 1991
And to the Genocide Convention on 14 Nov 1995.
Look at domestic laws, including provisions for universal jurisdiction.
US Alien Tort law is far stronger than US criminal law for crimes committed outside the territory of the United States.
3) Consider the seriousness of the crime, and of gravity of making a
claim that genocide is occurring.
4) Prepare to respond to disbelief and denial. Also prepare to
encounter indifference and apathy.
5) Think strategically about who to tell and how to make information
available to the public. A website is one of many possible options.
