1995-1996 State of World Conflict Report
August 1996
Preface
The 1995-96 State of World Conflict Report provides maps, demographics, and statistical information on the 25 locations where 30 major armed conflicts were waged in 1995 and narrative summaries for these conflicts through mid-1996. These figures represent a decline from 1994-95, when 33 major armed conflicts were waged in 27 locations, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Conflict locations are designated by the internationally recognized borders of a state. In some cases, countries are involved in more than one conflict, which accounts for the larger number of conflicts than conflict locations.
