As we would expect then, the Correlates of War figures are generally lower than the others. The Correlates of War series aims to include only deaths of military personnel, whereas the other sources capture – at least to some extent – civilian deaths too. If you hover over the datapoints, you can see the exact figures: the highest figure for a given year is typically well more than double the lowest.

If you look closely, you’ll see that there are large relative differences between the series over the entire period as well, though they are understated by the 1994 peak.

Most noticeably, there is a large jump in 1994 – marking the Rwandan genocide – which is present in some series, but absent from others. Overall they show a decline in conflict deaths into the 2000s, followed by an increase in the 2010s. You see in the chart that there are certainly similarities across the different sources. We’ve summarised more information about the data sources and how we handled them to produce the chart above in a document, World conflict deaths since 1989: Notes on five sources. (We show the data for these categories separately here). The ‘UCDP all’ series is an aggregation of the deaths recorded in each of the three categories of conflict used by Uppsala Conflict Data Program: state-based conflict, non-state conflict and one-sided violence.

Here we show the world conflict death rate since 1989 according to five sources. To answer the question of how many people die in conflicts today, and how this has changed over time, we can turn to a number of different datasets.
