Begin by examining web sites dealing with human rights abuses in various countries throughout the world. An exemplary site which is also called Project Disappeared (http://www.desaparecidos.org/eng.html) serves as an excellent starting point. Clicking on the underlined title in the previous sentence will take you directly to an English version of the main web site. Please perform the following steps in numerical order.

1. Select a country or geographic area of interest. Read a number of the linked documents and perform other searches you believe appropriate.
2. Using the information you find, write a document outlining the following:
   • Country or geographic region of concern.
   • Factions/populations involved (be certain to names of each of the main groups, including information regarding ethnicity and/or religious orientation of the various factions/populations).
   • Type of interactions and charges against the various factions.
   • Role that scientific evidence has played thus far in better understanding/confirming the type of interactions (e.g forensic evidence, blood type analysis, DNA analysis, etc.).
   • Anticipated future role of scientific evidence in better understanding/confirming actions.
3. Be certain to include a bibliography of web resources used in your document. Two different web page citation formats can be found at : http://www.uni.uiuc.edu/~dstone/searchevalandcit.html .
