Methodology

The One-Minute Massacres (OMM) project uses historical documentation, archival records, eyewitness accounts, and verifiable sources, combined with a framework of ethical testimony.

This ethical framework is in accordance with a fatwa issued ad hoc by Dar al-ʿUloom Usmania, Nauthia Road, Peshawar (دارالعلوم عثمانیہ، پشاور).

  • Respondents provide informed consent and retain the right to withdraw at any stage.
  • No personally identifiable information is published.
  • Respondents are vetted by trusted community leaders to ensure authenticity and relevance.
  • A minimum of three independent, corroborating testimonies are required for any incident to reach documentary status.

Verification and Limitations

  • Testimonies are cross-checked against available media reports, NGO databases, leaked military logs, or contemporaneous records where such material exists.
  • In regions where documentation is sparse due to censorship, remoteness, or conflict, oral testimony is treated as primary evidence, following established oral history practices.
  • Casualty figures are reported conservatively; where estimates vary, ranges are noted or figures are marked as minimum confirmed.
  • OMM acknowledges that under-reporting is likely in conflict zones and that absence of documentation does not imply absence of violence.
