September 22, 2008, Bogotá Colombia — The Spanish version of Dr. Patrick Ball's well-known manual, Who Did What to Whom?: Planning and Implementing a Large-Scale Human Rights Data Project,has been published under the title ¿Quién le hizo qué a quién? Planear e implementar un proyecto a gran escala de información en derechos humanos.

Originally published under the auspices of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1996, the manual has long been a reference for human rights institutions that gather, analyze, and process information on human rights violations. The manual is based on Dr. Ball's many years of work in human rights information management. Read the press release for more information on this publication.

Benetech HRDAG develops database software, data collection strategies, and statistical techniques to measure human rights atrocities. Our technology and analysis is used by truth commissions, international criminal tribunals, and non-governmental human rights organizations around the world. Our analysis identifies the trends and patterns which is the evidence of crimes of policy.

The incorporation of HRDAG into Benetech brings together HRDAG's considerable field experience with Benetech's software engineering expertise. Together, we will build tools and projects that help human rights workers do their jobs better.
