The Conflict Observatory is an American non-governmental organization which analyzes war crimes occurring in Ukraine and Sudan. It publicizes evidence of Russian war crimes and other atrocities in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and mass atrocities and genocidal activities conducted by the Rapid Support Forces in the Darfur.[1] The organization uses open source intelligence research methods and commercial satellite imagery and data to produce reports that meet legal standards for use in international accountability efforts, and real time data to aid humanitarian organizations. The observatory is supported principally by the United States Department of State's Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations
