  • CERN, Criticism and Protest
    Nov 28 2022

    The creation of CERN, the role played by physicists - many of whom were involved in research on the atomic bomb during the Second World War - and the very strong links between the CERN project and international Geneva are eminently important.


    This episode focuses on other characteristic aspects of CERN's history: the criticisms, fears and social contestation that have existed over the decades.


    This podcast is hosted by journalist David Glaser and historian Véronique Stenger (University of Geneva) and is edited by FONSART.

  • ICRC, what you need to know about the Geneva Conventions ?
    Feb 1 2023
    The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols contain the essential rules of international humanitarian law, which set limits to the barbarity of war. The first Geneva Convention was adopted in 1864 and since then international humanitarian law has continued to adapt to the reality of international conflicts.


    With the help of readings from Henry Dunant's book "A memory of Solférino" and archives, most of which come from geneveMonde.ch partner institutions, historian Véronique Stenger and journalist David Glaser explain the history and evolution of these Conventions and their usefulness in the context of armed conflicts.
