List of ongoing conflicts

List of ongoing conflicts

This is a list of ongoing conflicts that are happening around the world, which continue to result in violent deaths. This list is for the sole purpose of identifying present-day conflicts and the death toll associated with each conflict. Fatality figures include both civilian and military deaths.

Conflicts which no longer produce violent deaths are not listed here, but can be found in the historical lists of wars and the list of wars extended by diplomatic irregularity.

1000+ deaths per year

Conflicts in the following list are currently causing at least 1000 violent deaths per year (a United Nations categorization [cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/index.html |publisher=Globalsecurity.org |title=The World at War |accessdate=2008-05-12] ).

Other conflicts

There are many other smaller-scale armed conflicts that are currently causing a smaller number of violent fatalities each year.
