Mandate before alignment
Describe what an institution is authorized and incentivized to do before assigning narrative meaning.
Global editorial doctrine
One standard of evidence.
Many legitimate viewpoints.
The governing methodology for international coverage: equal evidentiary thresholds, local and multilingual sources, rights-aware institutional analysis, explicit uncertainty, correction pathways, and non-stereotyped character identity.
Direct answer
What is the IARPG international fairness method?
Every jurisdiction is researched through the same analytical questions and evidence thresholds, but not forced into the same political or cultural template. The method requires formal/practical authority separation, source diversity, rights and oversight analysis, affected-community context, uncertainty labels, endonym and translation review, correction history, and equal scrutiny of favorable and unfavorable claims.
- Evidence
- Claims, sources, confidence, contradictions, and cutoff dates
- Rights
- Oversight, due process, privacy, labor, minority, disability, diaspora, and civilian effects
- Language
- Local authorship, local-language evidence, endonyms, and translation limits
Comparative lens
Compare institutions,
not civilizations.
Every profile uses the same dimensions and records where public evidence is incomplete, contested, dated, or inaccessible. Formal law and practical authority are kept separate.
Formal and practical power
Show constitutional or statutory chains separately from credibly assessed real influence.
Equal evidence burden
Apply the same sourcing, confidence, contradiction, and correction rules to every jurisdiction.
Rights and affected people
Include oversight, due process, privacy, labor, minority, diaspora, disability, and civilian impacts.
Time-stamped uncertainty
Date current-status claims and mark unknown, disputed, inaccessible, or rapidly changing information.
No national moral typecasting
States, institutions, officials, communities, and individual characters are not interchangeable.
Country coverage
Every country belongs in the roadmap.
Listing a country is a commitment to fair future coverage, not a claim that a dedicated profile is complete. Regional baselines guide the next research cycle.

Editorial commitment
Fairness is a process,
not a slogan.
International fairness requires ongoing review. The site must publish what is known, what is assessed, what is disputed, what could not be verified, which perspectives are missing, and how a correction can supersede an earlier claim.
