| Martus is a secure information management tool that allows you to create a searchable and encrypted database and back this data up remotely to your choice of publicly available servers. The Martus software is used by organizations around the world to protect sensitive information and shield the identity of victims or witnesses who provide testimony on human rights abuses. Martus is the Greek word for witness. Learn more about Martus software. |
| The Martus software can be downloaded free from this website. An open source software tool, Martus is used by human rights workers, attorneys, journalists and others who need to secure their information from eavesdropping, theft or equipment failure. Some organizations which use Martus to protect their data also use Analyzer, a software program developed by the Human Rights Data Analysis Group to organize human rights information for statistical analysis. Both Martus and Analyzer are supported by Benetech, a non-profit technology organization based in Palo Alto, California. |

The estimated 80 million records in the archive contain critical information about police procedures during Guatemala's 36 years of internal armed conflict that resulted in 200,000 deaths and disappearances.
