This conclusion which flies in the face of the entire humanitarian endeavor designed to minimize excess mortality can easily be dismissed as the artifact of a poorly done report. The report defines a war as ongoing when only 25 killings per year are occurring uses national surveys with multiyear recall periods to examine short minor conflicts rather than examining the conflict-affected populations weighs minor conflicts and major wars as similar events and selectively cites sources to make their points often ignoring the overall conclusions of those same sources. The report received limited credence in the press and even less in the academic community and hopefully will be quickly forgotten. What is important for those of us involved in the documentation of human suffering is that this report is the latest and worst in a growing trend of non-public health professionals drawing health conclusions from convenient samples.
