4.g. Regional aggregations
Regional aggregates are calculated as the total number of documented direct conflict-related deaths,
divided by the total resident population of armed conflict, for the region, expressed in 100, 000
population. The global aggregate is calculated as the total number of documented direct conflict-related
deaths for all the situations of armed conflict, divided by the total resident population of all situations of
armed conflict, included in the indicator, expressed in 100, 000 population.

OHCHR will conduct a validation process of the list of situations of armed conflict to be considered
for the indicator every year. OHCHR will systematically assess each potentially relevant data
provider for its application of the methodology for the indicator, including its ability to provide
credible and reliable data and apply verification standards. This will be done through metadata
exchange, capacity building and continued exchange with data providers.

5. Data availability and disaggregation
Data availability:
At the time of drafting the present metadata for the reclassification request to the IAEG-SDG, data
documented direct conflict-related deaths of civilians have been collected for most of the deadliest
situations of armed conflict in the SDG regions of Southern Asia, Western Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa,
Northern Africa, Latin America and Europe. Not all of these data, however, have been collated for global
SDGs indicators reporting purposes.
Time series:
2015 - 2017
Disaggregation:
The recommended disaggregation for this indicator are:
• Sex of person killed (Man, Woman, Unknown)
• Age group of person killed (Adult (18 and above), Child (below 18), Unknown)
• Cause of death (Heavy weapons and explosive munitions; Planted explosives and unexploded
ordnance (UXO); Small arms and light weapons;; Incendiary; Chemical, Biological, Radiological,
