    [Deep Dive - Ep. #111] Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments 2026, 7/11: Left Outside: Children, Elders, the Disabled, LGBTQI+ People and the Peyizan

    Episode 7/11 of our walk through "Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments, March through September 2026", by IJDH and BAI. The report calls Haiti one of the most dangerous countries in the world for children, who are recruited by armed groups and killed by drones and "defense" groups. We also follow what the crisis means for older people, people with disabilities, LGBTQI+ people and the peyizan, Haiti's rural farmers.

    [Deep Dive - Ep. #86] Tout Moun, 1/11: Who Gets to Tell the Revolution?

    Episode 1/11 of Tout Moun, a Deep Dive series on the people who made the Haitian Revolution. For two centuries the Revolution was told through its great men, while the enslaved men and women who made it left almost no writing of their own. We trace how the story has been written, from the first foreign accounts to Madiou, Ardouin, Sannon and C. L. R. James, and how the people can still be found in court interrogations, prison records, captured letters and the oral tradition. We also explain why this series spends so much of its time in the South.

    Episode 6/11 of our walk through "Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments, March through September 2026", by IJDH and BAI. Content note: this episode discusses sexual violence. The report counts more than 7,000 cases of gender-based violence in eight months, documents armed groups using rape as a weapon, and follows displaced women and girls in the camps. We bring forward the Haitian women's organizations who document these harms and the barriers survivors face in seeking justice.

    [Deep Dive - Ep. #85] How Alexandre Pétion Funded Simón Bolívar

    In 1816 Simón Bolívar arrived in Haiti broke and defeated. Alexandre Pétion gave him money, arms, a printing press and Haitian volunteers, and asked for one thing in return: the abolition of slavery in every territory Bolívar liberated. This Deep Dive follows Pétion from the child his father refused to name, to silversmith, artillery officer and president of the southern republic. We look at the land reform that put soil in farmers' hands, and the paradox of a democrat who made himself president for life.

    [Deep Dive - Ep. #109] Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments 2026, 5/11: Justice Deferred: Courts and Prisons

    Episode 5/11 of our walk through "Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments, March through September 2026", by IJDH and BAI. Only 2 of the 15 peace courts in Port-au-Prince work, the Court of First Instance held no jury trials for eight years, and the cases of Jovenel Moïse, Monferrier Dorval, Antoinette Duclair and Diego Charles have not moved. In the prisons, 82% of detainees have never been tried, and a center built for 93 children holds more than 760 people.

    Episode 4/11 of our walk through "Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments, March through September 2026", by IJDH and BAI. This time the report turns to the state itself. The head of the anti-corruption unit is fired after briefing the UN Security Council, police and officials collude with armed groups, and police operations and drone strikes kill civilians, including children. We follow the report's case that corruption and state violence are at the heart of the crisis. Read the full transcript on Jou: https://jou.rasanblaj.ht/podcast/deep-dive/2026-10-27/transcript

    [Deep Dive - Ep. #107] Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments 2026, 3/11: Leverage: Kidnapping and a State That Does Not Protect

    Episode 3/11 of our walk through "Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments, March through September 2026", by IJDH and BAI. Kidnapping has become a weapon: hostages taken by the dozens and the hundreds as leverage against the state. The report shows a police force with fewer than 1,000 officers ready for combat, the security plan for Kenscoff taken apart before the August massacre, private contractors running drones and customs, and civilian "defense" groups killing with weapons supplied by police.

    Episode 2/11 of our walk through "Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments, March through September 2026", by IJDH and BAI. The report documents armed groups moving out of the capital and into the countryside in what it calls lightning raids: 70 people killed in Jean-Denis alone, and 164 killed in the Kenscoff massacres of July and August. We look at how armed groups govern the areas they hold, the nearly 1.5 million people displaced, and the journalists who were abducted and killed for their work.
