War WATCH: Episode 5 - Iran: No Ceasefire for Civilians

In the fifth episode of the War Watch podcast, a series from the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, a joint centre of the University of Geneva and the Geneva Graduate Institute, Shima Esmailian, PhD candidate at the University of Geneva and consultant and adviser on gender and international law with civil society organizations working on transitional justice in Iran, and Stuart Casey-Maslen, Senior Researcher and Head of Scientific Projects at the Geneva Academy of IHL and Human Rights, examine what the Iran conflict has meant for ordinary Iranians — caught between a government that massacred its own protesters, external strikes by the United States and Israel, and an aftermath in which repression has only intensified. The episode covers the January 2026 crackdown, strikes on universities and water infrastructure, and a ceasefire that has brought no peace — with executions continuing and international scrutiny fading. Iran is one of the conflicts tracked on the War Watch portal, where you can find the full legal analysis and documented violations.

War WATCH: Episode 4 - Haiti: Crossing the Threshold

In the fourth episode of the War Watch podcast, a six-episode series from the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, a joint centre of the University of Geneva and the Geneva Graduate Institute, host Juliette Graf meets Diego Da Rin, Haiti specialist with the International Crisis Group, and Stuart Casey-Maslen, Special Adviser to the Geneva Academy's IHL in Focus project. Haiti's crisis has been years in the making. But in February 2024, something shifted. Two rival gang coalitions merged into a single alliance - Viv Ansanm - and launched coordinated attacks that brought Port-au-Prince to a standstill and toppled the government. The Geneva Academy formally classified Haiti as a non-international armed conflict: the violence was too organised, too sustained, and too deadly to be treated as anything else. Diego Da Rin explains how Haiti's gangs got here and what their territorial control looks like on the ground. Stuart Casey-Maslen unpacks what the classification actually changes: for accountability, for the Gang Suppression Force now deploying, and for the civilians caught in the middle. The episode also walks through what the War Watch project documented between 2024 and 2025: hospitals attacked, schools burned, mass killings, and sexual violence used deliberately and systematically. Haiti is one of the conflicts we track on the War Watch portal, where you can find the full legal analysis and documented violations.
