Project
Accountable Security
Exploring the causes, consequences, and solutions to unaccountability in America’s foreign and domestic security sectors
About the Project
The Accountable Security Project is a research and advocacy initiative co-led by the Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) and the Stimson Center, and funded by the Carnegie Corporation. The project investigated United States accountable security practices (or lack thereof) within the U.S. and abroad along with the connections between them through a combination of desk research and consultations with members of affected communities, civil society leaders, and subject matter experts. The findings from this research inform a set of recommendations for the executive branch, Congress, and civil society that are focused on strengthening accountability in U.S. domestic and international security practices.
