What is The War Report?
The War Report (2012) identifies and discusses all those situations of armed violence that amounted to armed conflicts according to the criteria which have developed under international law.
The purpose of The War Report is to collect information in the public domain and provide legal analysis for governments, policy makers, the United Nations, academics, NGOs, and journalists. The War Report also identifies conflict-related deaths and injuries for each armed conflict, disaggregating categories whenever the data supports it.
What's in the 2012 Report?
The report finds that at least 37 armed conflicts took place in 24 states and territories in 2012, resulting in the direct loss of at least 95,000 lives and many hundreds of thousands of wounded.
A significant proportion of casualties resulted from use of indiscriminate weapons in populated areas, 2012 also saw pervasive incidence of rape and other acts of sexual violence.
Publication
The War Report is published by Oxford University Press. Offers for discounted copies will be available at the launch.
