Learn the basics

ConflictWatch aggregates academic data on organized violence — armed conflict between governments, between organized non-state groups, and violence directed at civilians. The figures come from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), a long-running research project that compiles recorded fatality estimates from public reports and codes each event to a place and a date.

The numbers presented here are recorded estimates, not exact counts. They are compiled after the fact from many sources, published as low, best and high ranges, and they routinely undercount — especially while events are still unfolding. ConflictWatch exists to provide historical and statistical context, with a focus on data quality and the human cost, not to track live situations.

How organized violence is defined and categorizedUCDP’s three types — state-based, non-state and one-sided violence — and the fatality thresholds that separate an “armed conflict” from a “war”.How the data is collected and geocodedWhere UCDP figures come from, how each event is tied to an administrative area and date, and why there is a lag between an event and a confirmed record.Why the numbers are uncertain and usually undercountEstimate ranges, the difference between battle-related and total deaths, and why recorded figures should be read as a floor, not a final count.Sources, licensing and neutralityWhy ConflictWatch relies on an openly licensed academic source, how attribution works, and the commitment to a neutral, non-partisan presentation.
