Publications
These publications have been developed by the Institute for International Criminal Investigations (IICI) and partners to provide practical guidance to individuals and organisations that gather and use information about systematic and conflict-related sexual violence (SCRSV) on how they can implement and uphold the standards captured in the Murad Code in their work.
NEW Open-Source Practitioner’s Guide to the Murad Code
This Guide translates the minimum standards of the Murad Code into standards and practices for practitioners who search for or use online digital open-source information and may intentionally or unintentionally handle information related to SCRSV during online inquiries or investigations. The Guide is available in English, French, Ukrainian and Arabic.

Practice Guidance Note on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
Survivors have consistently emphasised that effective, integrated MHPSS must be in place before information-gatherers engage in survivor interactions, yet IICI has received feedback that the principles in the Code that relate to MHPSS are among the most challenging to meet. This resource offers practical guidance for information-gatherers and users on how to meet the Code’s commitments on MHPSS.
Coming soon.
Video: “Are you a survivor? I am one too.”
This video was conceived of and created by survivors of SCRSV. It is addressed to all those around the world who have endured the unspeakable and sometimes lose hope. The video reflects the spirit of the Code, emphasising that the dignity, safety, and well-being of survivors must come first in all interactions with institutions, journalists, judicial authorities and researchers.
Watch the video.
Guide for Funders
This guidance helps governmental, philanthropic and multilateral funders to reflect on why and how the Code is important for them and for organisations they support, and how they can build compliance with the Code’s minimum standards into their own organisations and into their support for grantees and other recipients of funding.
Coming soon.
