Palanti to support Ukrainian Prosecutor-General’s war crimes investigation

Palantir has announced a landmark agreement with the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine which will enable investigators on the ground and across Europe to share, integrate, and process all key data relating to more than 78,000 registered war crimes. The OPG’s war crimes register documents all recorded incidents of war crimes relating to the armed conflict in Ukraine. The software will enable: integration of open-source intelligence and satellite imagery to construct a virtual map of war crimes evidence; cataloguing by prosecutors of the vast quantity of data to support workflows for removing data duplication, helping establish source reliability, and identifying potential links across different sources of data in order to speed up the path to building compelling cases; establishing attribution by providing prosecutors with the tools for building a clear picture of the chain of command for Russian forces in Ukraine, while mapping Russian military units to criminal activity; Ukrainian and international partners to securely and legally collate and share otherwise siloed information. It will also help to ensure chain of custody.
