Abstract
This report presents major points of discussion and recommendations from an international conference held in September 2014 in Salzburg, Austria. Workshop participants discussed how local and international NGOs, journalists, forensic scientists, health professionals, and other “first responders” to war crimes and human violations can most effectively work with courts — and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in particular — in the collection of evidence of serious war crimes, such as genocide and crimes against humanity.
