Arms deliveries that are stopped dead, multinationals taken to court and unprecedented citizen involvement: Disclose’s investigations have knock-on effects at every level. Despite the pressure exerted on our newsroom, we had a record number of impacts last year, which shows that investigative journalism is a sustainable counter-power.
“A denial of reality”, “a stubborn silence”… Four years after Disclose’s revelations, the parliamentary commission of inquiry on nuclear testing in French Polynesia has confirmed the extent of the state’s cover-up since the 1960s. The members of parliament are calling for the compensation scheme for civilian and military victims to be overhauled.
Three years after the Disclose revelations about the French army’s intelligence operation that led to summary executions in Egypt, the European Court of Human Rights is demanding explanations from the French authorities. The legal proceedings follow a complaint lodged by two international NGOs in early 2024.
Two NGOs filed a complaint with the Eureopean Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on 8 February for the French state to be held accountable for the killing of hundreds of Egyptian civilians. The complaint follows the French judiciary’s refusal to investigate abusive practices as part of Operation Sirli, a French military intelligence operation in Egypt revealed by Disclose.
Human rights organizations went to the administrative court on Thursday, September 23, to enjoin the Ministry of the Economy to communicate administrative documents relating to French arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
