The 2015 edition of the Global Burden of Armed Violence provides a
wealth of data relevant to security and the post-2015 sustainable
development framework. It estimates that 508,000 people died
violently - in both conflict and non-conflict settings - every year
in 2007–12, down from 526,000 in 2004–09. This trend is visible
in non-conflict settings, where the proportion of women and girls
is also slightly reduced, from 17 to 16 per cent. Yet, the number
of direct conflict deaths is on the rise: from 55,000 to 70,000 per
year over the same periods. Firearms are used in close to half of
all homicides committed and in almost one-third of direct conflict
deaths. Nearly USD 2 trillion in global homicide-related economic
losses could have been saved if the homicide rate in 2000–10 had
been reduced to the lowest practically attainable levels - between
2 and 3 deaths per 100,000 population.
