At Inforce, we adopt a Human Rights based approach to the application of forensic sciences in the aftermath of atrocity crimes and mass fatality incidents. Our philosophy ensures that the needs and dignity of the living are paramount in all that we do. 

The Inforce Foundation is a UK based, but international and independent NGO (registered charity) whose aims are to provide the forensic expertise necessary for the scientific location, recovery and identification of the victims of such crimes as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. We can provide expert teams for specific projects but we particularly specialise in providing training to those from post-conflict regions to empower them to undertake their own investigations and recover and identify their dead. We believe that providing post-conflict regions with the ability to recover their dead and write their own histories is paramount to truth and reconciliation processes and a more peaceful future. Creating in-country forensic capacity also provides a deterrence which will save lives in the future, and by helping prevent future conflict we help in the fight for poverty reduction and in the creation of a safer world for our children.

As well as applying our expertise in the aftermath of serious crimes we also provide humanitarian assistance in recovering and identifying the dead in mass fatality incidents such as natural disasters and of course in recovering and recording crucial evidence in the context of transportation accidents and terrorist attacks. In all of our work we adopt protocols and standard operating procedures to ensure that all work is undertaken to the highest possible standards.
