The Global Burden of Armed Violence report is the first comprehensive
assessment of the scope of human tragedy resulting
from violence around the world. More than 740,000 people
die each year as a result of conflict-related and homicidal violence—
a figure that should capture the attention of decision-makers and
activists worldwide.

The report brings into focus the wide-ranging costs of war and
crime on development and provides a solid evidence base to shape
effective policy, programming, and advocacy to prevent and reduce
armed violence. Drawing from diverse sources and approaches,
chapters focus on conflict-related, post-conflict, and criminal armed
violence, and on the enormous economic costs of armed violence.
The report also highlights some of the less visible forms of armed
violence, including sexual and gender-based violence, extrajudicial
killings, kidnappings, and forced disappearances.

Missing persons in connection with the conflict in Somalia

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:26:44 +0100

"More than a decade of conflicts and violence has led to the fragmentation of the society and territory and the destruction of infrastructure. Therefore, the capacity of the population to move about and to communicate with their relatives is limited. Moreover, the lack of financial resources of vulnerable people deprives them of easy access to private means of communication, which are available mainly in big cities. Consequently, the population needs the Red Cross / Red Crescent network to restore and maintain family links.

Working in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the Somali Red Crescent Society has 23 offices in all regions of the country working to help Somali people to re-establish and maintain ties with their relatives."

Nepal - Missing: The Right To Know

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:19:40 +0100

Qoute from site: "The 10-year conflict in Nepal between 1996 and 2006 left thousands of families to deal with tragedies for the rest of their lives; thousands were killed, while many families are still anxiously waiting for news on the fate or whereabouts of their loved ones who went missing. International humanitarian law requires the authorities to take all feasible measures to account for people who have gone missing in connection with a conflict, and to provide their families with all the information they may have on their fate and whereabouts."

Book of Missing Persons on the Territory of the Republic of Croatia

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:04:16 +0100

The 1991-1995 conflict in Croatia left thousands of families uncertain as to the fate of their relatives, or unable to recover their remains.

Families have lived through years of hope and despair as they tried to exercise their basic humanitarian right – to know what happened to their missing relatives. The process involves the ICRC, the tracing services of numerous National Societies, those of other partners of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and various government bodies.

In December 2006, the ICRC published the first edition of the "Book of missing persons on the territory of the Republic of Croatia," listing people who went missing in Croatia during the 1991-1995 conflict.

The Wikileaks Iraq documents - list of incidents (deaths only)

Sat, 23 Oct 2010 02:16:49 +0100

The list of deaths recorded by the US military in Iraq, which was a part of the leaked documents published by Wikileaks and released on Ocober 22, 2010, is not really qualified to be entered into the Virtual War Memorial Collection since it deals with incidents, and not with humans. It is however a document that is very interesting in the context of this project and it has thus has been filed in the resources section. The link is a Google Fusion Table document that you need a Google account to be able to view.

This is the Guardian´s analyze of the content of the logs:

The logs record a total of 109,032 violent deaths between 2004 and 2009. It is claimed that 66,081 of these were civilians. A further 23,984 deaths are classed as "enemy" and 15,196 as members of the Iraqi security forces. The logs also include the deaths of 3,771 US and allied soldiers.

No fewer than 31,780 of the total deaths are attributed to the improvised landmines laid around Iraq by insurgents. There were 65,439 successful "improvised explosive device" (IED) blasts in the period, according to the logs, with another 44,620 IEDs found in time and disarmed.

The other major recorded cause of death is the civil war that broke out during the US military occupation. There are 34,814 victims of sectarian killings recorded as murders in the logs. The worst single month was December 2006 when 2,566 Iraqis were found dead.
