Request for Investigation

A Request for Investigation is a formal appeal to a government agency, international organization, or other relevant body to conduct an inquiry into alleged human rights violations or abuses. The request typically includes a detailed description of the allegations, any available evidence or documentation, and a call for a thorough and impartial investigation. Requests for investigation may be submitted by individuals, groups, or organizations, and may seek various forms of action, such as the collection of evidence, interviews with witnesses and victims, and the identification of perpetrators. The investigation process is an important mechanism for establishing the facts and circumstances of human rights violations, holding perpetrators accountable, and providing redress and justice for victims.
