genocide watch reports, mapped out

Where does genocide happen, and where are warning signs already visible?

Genocide Watch’s new Ten Stages of Genocide Map provides a global overview of our latest findings. It is a major update to the previous version from October 2025 and includes our latest assessments and reports through the beginning of August 2026.

The new map is now available on the Ten Stages page, below the explanations of the individual stages.

See where the Ten Stages are occurring

Countries and regions are colored according to the highest stage currently identified in our latest analysis.

The donut charts show which of the Ten Stages are present. Each segment represents one stage. The more stages identified, the larger the donut.

Search globally

The map can now be searched by countries, regions, perpetrators, targeted groups, and other terms found in our reports.

Search for “Indigenous” or “LGBTQ,” for example, to see where these groups have been identified as targets in our latest assessments.

Filter individual stages

The Ten Stages can also be filtered directly.

Click on a segment in the donut menu on the left, for example Stage 7: Preparation, to see all countries and regions where this stage was identified in the latest available assessment.

Filter by alert level

You can also filter the map by Genocide Watch’s alert levels: Watch, Warning, and Emergency.

This makes it easier to explore situations that may receive less international attention.

Conflict fatalities

A new layer based on data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) shows where conflict-related deaths have been recorded.

The data does not represent the full human cost of a conflict, but it provides an indication of where direct conflict fatalities are concentrated. The layer can be hidden or viewed on its own.

Globe or flat map

Explore the data on an interactive globe, let the globe rotate automatically, or switch to a flat world map for a global overview.

We hope the map encourages people to explore our findings and learn more about atrocities and warning signs around the world.

The map is now embedded on Genocide Watch’s Ten Stages of Genocide page, where you can also read more about each of the stages.
