Violent deaths in conflicts and one-sided violence since 1989, 1946 to 2016

The data refer to direct violent deaths. Deaths due to disease or famine caused by conflict are excluded. Extra-judicial killings in custody are also excluded. Only
incidents involving more than 25 deaths are included. One-sided violence is that between a named organisation and civilians, such as genocides. The spike in 1994
reflects the high death toll of the Rwandan genocide.
