Open source tools, including satellite photography, have become a vital tool in the effort to expose war crimes, human rights abuses and atrocities. It is therefore no wonder that malignant actors have tried to undermine and subvert these tools, using fakes or misleading interpretations to try and blind investigators.

The Russian government has had a particularly bad record of using inappropriate, misleading and downright falsified imagery since its invasion of Ukraine in 2014. The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has played the leading role in these efforts.

In developed countries, we frequently take for granted that Google and other platforms have pulled data from satellite photography and GPS to plot all the roads, building and corners that make up our surroundings. But the vast majority of the developing world has, until recently, remained predominantly unmapped. The Missing Maps project is now filling in these gaps, for some of the world’s most vulnerable human populations in the farthest corners of the globe.

The Missing Maps project, launched in 2014, is a collaboration by the American and British Red Cross, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and Doctors Without Borders to put 20 million at-risk people on the map in two years. Using OpenStreetMap as a platform, Missing Maps aims to fill in the world’s “missing maps” before the next crisis arrives, so that detailed maps are available and ready for emergency responders.
