The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2015: Every Body Counts

Every Body Counts is the 2015 edition of the Global Burden of Armed Violence, which reveals that while violent deaths have decreased globally, armed conflict has become more lethal. The publication estimates that 508,000 people died violently each year during 2007–12. While this figure shows a decline, the proportion of conflict-related deaths has increased. In this podcast Ambassador Claude Wild of the Swiss Government's Human Security Division, UNDP Geneva Director Neil Buhne, and Small Arms Survey Programme Director Keith Krause explain the significance and its relevance to security and the post-2015 sustainable development framework.
