ABOUT WOR
World On Record — Conflict intelligence for the planet.
MISSION
WOR exists to make conflict intelligence accessible, understandable, and actionable. We track every active armed conflict on Earth — mapping severity, displacement, and impact — with full data attribution and rigorous methodology. Our goal is not to alarum but to illuminate.
METHODOLOGY
WOR's Severity Index is a composite score (0–10) incorporating event frequency (ACLED), civilian impact (UNHCR displacement data), territorial control dynamics, and humanitarian access indicators. Scores are updated continuously as new data arrives. Full methodology documentation is available on request.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
WOR does not take political positions. All conflict parties are named factually. We do not editorialize on legitimacy, justification, or causation beyond established international law frameworks. Every data point carries a source citation. Corrections are published promptly and prominently.
DATA SOURCES
Primary: ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data), UNHCR displacement data, UN OCHA situation reports, UN Security Council records. Secondary: Crisis Group, Armed Conflict Survey, GDELT, World Bank conflict indicators.
WOR forecasts are probabilistic estimates based on historical patterns and current data. They are not guarantees of future events.
