AUTHORITARIAN INTERFERENCE TRACKER

Accessibility Statement

Effective: 27 May 2026 · Last reviewed: 27 May 2026

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue is committed to making the Authoritarian Interference Tracker usable by the widest possible audience. This page describes the accessibility posture of the public site, known limitations, and how to give us feedback.

Conformance target

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. The site is not formally audited and we make no claim of full conformance; we treat this as a continuing commitment rather than a fixed state.

What we do

• Semantic HTML for headings, lists, and landmarks.
• Keyboard navigation throughout the site; a “Skip to content” link is available at the top of each page.
• Focus is visible on all interactive elements.
• Images carry alt text where they convey meaning.
• Page language is declared (lang="en").
• Honoring the prefers-reduced-motion setting in the operating system or browser to suppress non-essential animations.
• Sufficient color contrast for body text and interactive controls.

Known limitations

• Some data visualisations (Sankey diagram, chord diagram, stacked area chart, clustered map) are inherently visual. Where possible, equivalent information is available in tabular form on the same page; some details visible only through chart interaction may not be reachable by screen reader.
• The interactive map relies on Leaflet and OpenStreetMap tiles. Keyboard navigation of map markers is supported but is less convenient than mouse interaction.
• Filter pills convey state through color and text; users relying solely on color differentiation may need to consult the textual labels next to each pill.
• Long incident summaries are presented in a modal dialog. Screen-reader navigation out of an open modal returns the user to the trigger element.

If a piece of information you need is reachable only through a visual interaction, contact us at the address below and we will provide it in another form.

Compatibility

The site is tested against the two most recent major releases of Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge), Firefox, and Safari, on desktop and mobile. Older browsers will receive a degraded but usable experience.

Feedback and contact

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site, please tell us. Email [email protected] and describe the page, the issue, and the assistive technology you were using. We aim to acknowledge feedback within ten working days and to fix substantive barriers as quickly as practical.

Enforcement

Where you believe we have not adequately addressed an accessibility complaint, you may be able to escalate to a national accessibility enforcement body. In the United Kingdom this is the Equality and Human Rights Commission; in the European Union it is the relevant national enforcement authority designated under the European Accessibility Act.
