New UN report counts 191,369 Syrian-war deaths â but the truth is probably much, much worse
Amanda Taub of Vox has interviewed HRDAG executive director about the UN Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rightâs release of HRDAGâs third report on reported killings in the Syrian conflict.
From the article:
Patrick Ball, Executive Director of the Human Rights Data Analysis Group and one of the reportâs authors, explained to me that this new report is not a statistical estimate of the number of people killed in the conflict so far.

(The report only tracked violent killings, not âexcess mortalityâ deaths from from disease or hunger that the conflict is causing indirectly.)
UN Raises Estimate of Dead in Syrian Conflict to 191,000
Nick Cumming-Bruce of the New York Times writes about the UN Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rightâs release of HRDAGâs third report on reported killings in the Syrian conflict.
From the article:
In its third report on Syria commissioned by the United Nations, the Human Rights Data Analysis Group identified 191,369 deaths from the start of the conflict in March 2011 to April 2014, more than double the 92,901 deaths cited in their last report, which covered the first two years of the conflict.
âTragically, it is probably an underestimate of the real total number of people killed during the first three years of this murderous conflict,â Ms. Pillay said in a statement that accompanied the report, which observed that many killings in Syria were undocumented.
