This paper is intended as a contribution to ongoing discussions on how to measure SDG indicator 16.1.2: “Conflict-related deaths per 100,000 population, by sex, age and cause”.
It explains in detail the definition and methodology used by the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), and shows how the international community, UN agencies, NSOs, NGOs, and civil society organizations can utilize these data to track progress on this indicator.
