Mass surveillance and big data in wars highlight the tension between the protection of privacy and legitimate goals such as military necessity, documenting atrocities and support to humanitarian assistance. In this episode, the co-hosts Paola Gaeta and Antonio Coco discuss the challenges of data protection and privacy in war with Ilia Maria Siatista, an alumna of the LLM program of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights and currently a Programme Director and Senior Legal Officer at Privacy International – a London based NGO. They talk about the mandate of Privacy International and specific issues that arise while engaging with private actors involved in mass data collection in warfare.
