The Security Force Monitor does not make allegations and nothing in this platform should be taken as the Monitor making an allegation against a unit or person. In our work we treat all claims of human rights violations as βalleged violationsβ and clearly indicate that these are claims made by other organizations.
Incident counts are drawn from human rights documentation that has been structured into data and should not be used to make claims about trends in alleged violations, nor should they be considered as the entire human rights record for any given country or location within that country.
