Human Security Report published
The new Human Security Report has been publishd by the Human Security Report Project (HSRP) at Simon Fraser University. The number of state-based armed conflicts have risen during the first ten years of the 21st Century, but the report is optimistic about long term trends, which suggest improvements. Non-state conflicts rose significantly in 2008 with a large proportion found in Sub-Saharan Africa. During the post Cold War period there has been a larger percentage of countries in the world involed in wars than at any time since the end of World War II.
