Deaths in organised violence per million people

Last 90 days of UCDP data, divided by population. A rate shows how heavily violence weighs on a country, which a raw count hides.

Sources: UCDP GED Candidate (CC BY 4.0), data up to 2026-08-31; World Bank population 2025 (CC BY 4.0). Countries under 500 000 people left out.

Paravigil reads open sources several times a day — UCDP, GDACS, USGS, NASA, WMO, WHO, Copernicus, IODA, UK FCDO, the World Bank and WRI — and compares each country with fixed thresholds and with its own last 30 days. It is not a forecast and not an assessment by any government; it says what the sources report, with the numbers, and every figure links back to its source.
