8 EASO COI - IRAQ: IBC DATA ON CIVILIANS KILLED IN IRAQ Introduction The data on civilian deaths/ contained in this report was gathered, extracted, analysed and presented by Iraq Body Count (IBC), with coordination and facilitation by EASO s Country of Origin Information (COI) sector team. This report is an information source supplemental to the EASO COI report Iraq: Security situation, which was drafted by the COI units of Sweden, Belgium, and France. Readers and target users should always read this IBC supplementary report in conjunction with the full Security Situation report. Context This report is a supplement to the EASO COI report, Iraq: Security situation, which aims to provide information on the security situation that is relevant for international protection status determination, including refugee status and subsidiary protection. Additionally, the Security Situation report was produced for use by EASO and EU+ co-drafters in the development of a Country Guidance note on Iraq. The assessment of international protection needs and subsidiary protection under Article 5(c) of the Qualification Directive (QD) takes into account the following key elements: a real risk of serious harm; an internal or international armed conflict; indiscriminate violence; the term civilian ; and a serious and individual threat to life. Those key elements can be broken down into topics and indicators to assist in the assessment of protection needs. Examples of indicators and topics include: parties to the conflict; intensity and level of violence; nature of the violence; regional spread of the violence; targets of violence; risk of collateral damage; types and methods/tactics and weapons used; security on roads; and indirect effects of violence/conflict. The security situation report provides qualitative COI about conflict dynamics, main armed groups/conflict actors, security/political developments, civilian impacts as well as additional information about security trends,, and casualties, including governorate-level chapters. No single source can provide a full and comprehensive picture of the security situation. The information in this supplementary report should therefore be contextualised appropriately by target users. Data on civilian deaths in Iraq IBC s publicly available and fully analysed/processed database contains information from to March 7. In an effort to secure reliable and updated information about the security situation in Iraq, including the impact of violence on civilians in terms of deaths/, EASO worked together with IBC to secure a preliminary analysis of the data held by IBC on security leading to civilian deaths and civilians during 7-8. This report contains preliminary data from IBC s database from 7 and 8, complemented with data, the year with a comparable level of violence to 8, just before the -7 spike due to the violence created by conflict with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). EASO and IBC developed the parameters of what IBC s preliminary analysis would include in order to provide target users of the security situation report with a sense of trends in country-wide, governorate and district level leading to civilian deaths, as well as civilian death counts from the country analysed for intensity at governorate and district levels.

9 EASO COI - IRAQ: IBC DATA ON CIVILIANS KILLED IN IRAQ 7 Methodology This supplementary report provides data about civilian deaths and security leading to civilian deaths, and main causes of civilian deaths (weapon type) during, and from 7-8, as provided by IBC. For information on the methods used by IBC to extract and present the data in this report, including the scope and limitations specific to this report, see the section on Guidance notes. It is strongly recommended that target users read the Guidance notes first in order to understand the data presented in the sub-chapters. This information does not claim to exhaustively reflect every security incident leading to a civilian death. If a particular event is not mentioned in this information, it does not mean that the event has not taken place or did not exist. Source Iraq Body Count Iraq Body Count (IBC) is an independent open-ended project aimed at the full accounting of civilian deaths in Iraq, based on open-source information, and has been a source of information on violent civilian deaths in the Iraq conflict since. For many years it has been well-respected in the Iraq research community, including the EASO COI Network on Iraq, and remains one of the frequently cited reliable sources for such information, alongside the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). For this reason, and due to the difficulty of obtaining reliable disaggregated information on civilian deaths in Iraq, EASO selected IBC as one of the main sources for information on civilian deaths, involving civilian deaths and the main weapon types causing deaths. IBC gathers information from news media, NGOs and primary sources, as well as official cumulative figures. More information on IBC s approach and sources can be found below in the section on Guidance notes, and on its website: IBC has committed itself to abiding by the recently launched International Standards for Casualty Recording which prescribes best practices and principles in casualty recording, allowing users to accord a high quality level and trust in the data provided. The principles include do no harm, transparency, methodological consistency, and responsibility. Access to the full set of Standards is available from the link above. Structure and use of this supplementary report As indicated, this report is a supplement to the report EASO COI report Iraq: Security situation and should be read in conjunction with the full report. The data in this IBC supplementary report should always be contextualised with other information on security trends, such as qualitative information about the conflict dynamics, actors involved, civilian impacts, and other reputable sources of reporting on civilian deaths, casualties, and security. It is divided into four sections: Guidance notes on how to understand the data presented IBC data on civilian casualties in Iraq (, 7-8) IBC data on civilian casualties in each governorate (, 7-8) IBC data on civilian casualties at the district level (, 7-8) Intensity map series for civilians per, per district (, 7-8) These sections are described below:

10 8 EASO COI - IRAQ: IBC DATA ON CIVILIANS KILLED IN IRAQ IBC Guidance notes: The Guidance Notes provide IBC s detailed explanation to guide the target user through understanding IBC s methods, definitions, scope and limitations for the, and preliminary 7-8 data. This information is necessary to understand the data and should be read first. IBC national data on civilian casualties: This first section provides national trend charts and tables on security and associated civilian deaths, and intensity of civilian deaths for, 7-8, as explained in the Guidance Notes. Governorate trends: There are 8 governorate sub-sections, one for each governorate of Iraq. Governorates are listed alphabetically. On each governorate page, target users will find: An annual table for 7 and 8 showing security, deaths, and deaths/ by month over the two years for the governorate A graph showing the associated monthly trend lines through January 7-December 8, including a -month moving average. A district-level breakdown (table) for, 7-8 A table of the main types of weapons/causes of death of civilians for, 7-8 District-level intensity tables and map series ( tables/maps): There are three maps provided in this section which provide a visual overview for, 7, and 8 shifts in intensity of civilian deaths by district, as described in a footnote to the maps and in the Guidance Notes. District tables ( with each map): The detailed data informing all district-level information in this report is presented in tables accompanying the maps. These tables sort districts by their containing governorate, then their annual violence rate. The tables also provide the raw numbers of and deaths in each district per year and the population estimates on which violence rates are based, accompanied by the Arabic names and variant English transliterations for the districts.

11 EASO COI - IRAQ: IBC DATA ON CIVILIANS KILLED IN IRAQ 9 IBC Guidance notes Brief guidance notes: methods, definitions, current scope and limitations These data represent Iraq Body Count's preliminary analysis of security-related involving civilian deaths reported during 7-8, along with comparable data from earlier periods (principally, the most recent year where violence resembled 8 levels). The data is broken down, charted and mapped by time (month, year), location (district, governorate, nation) and type of incident, i.e. weapon or weapons used ( can also refer to the discovery of bodies after multiple events, see below). Additional information on IBC may be sought from IBC s website and IBC s website page on methods. IBC Methods Iraq Body Count (IBC) records the violent civilian deaths that have resulted from the military intervention in Iraq and its aftermath. Its detailed public database includes civilian deaths caused by US-led coalition and Iraqi government forces, paramilitaries, or armed groups/individuals. IBC s documentary evidence is drawn from crosschecked media reports (in 7 8, from at least a dozen Arabic-language Iraqi news sources) of violence leading to civilian deaths, or of bodies being found, supplemented by the careful review and integration of hospital, morgue, NGO and official figures or records. Systematically extracted details about lethal and the individuals in them are stored with every entry in the database. The minimum details always extracted are the number, where, and when. Whenever possible, other details about the (e.g. names, demographics) and of the circumstances of their death (weapons and perpetrators involved) are included. Confusion about the numbers produced by the project can be avoided by bearing in mind that: IBC s figures are not statistical estimates but a record of documented deaths. IBC records solely violent deaths (not injured/injuries ). IBC s detailed database records solely civilian (strictly, non-combatant ) deaths. (A separate total that includes combatant deaths is provided on the IBC homepage.) IBC s figures are constantly updated and revised as new data comes in, and frequent consultation is advised. Definitions Distinguishing civilian from combatant deaths: IBC data strictly records violent deaths of civilians (non-combatants). While all deaths due to conflict should be recorded, it is important to distinguish between civilian and combatant counts, and keep these separate to the extent possible. This is not least because the reporting of combatant deaths often originates from or is wholly reliant on the claims of their combat opponents, and more often contains indistinct, rounded, or exaggerated numbers. At the same time, it should be kept in mind that combatants may attribute combatant status to the civilians they kill: in such instances it is particularly advisable to seek out and consult all available reporting sources. Excluded from IBC s civilian database are those aged 8 and over who at the point of death were reported as initiating deadly violence or being active members of a military or paramilitary organisation. Included are all others violently, including regular local police forces. Under one specific circumstance we also include members of Iraqi military or paramilitary/militia forces in our database, namely when they are i.e. summarily executed after capture. Under those conditions even military personnel automatically acquire protected person (effectively, POW) status under International Humanitarian Law, and this distinction is respected by IBC.

12 EASO COI - IRAQ: IBC DATA ON CIVILIANS KILLED IN IRAQ Security involving civilian deaths: IBC only records security involving civilian deaths (not a general count of ). Incidents in IBC data can include both recorded events with civilian victims and the discovery of bodies, where the act of killing can be less exactly dated or localised but where other aspects (such as its having involved post-capture execution, torture, or gunfire) are nonetheless discernible, and recorded. Incidents can also refer to aggregate entries in the database, meaning that some database entries represent multiple, separate. An outcome of this is that IBC s overall incident to death ratio (roughly : over the full period from 8) is somewhat higher than it otherwise would be. Deaths Involving/Involved (weapon type/cause of death): In its reporting on weapons usage, IBC generally uses the term involved or involving a given type of weapon because weapons from different categories are sometimes used together (just as that kill civilians can involve multiple conflict actors). The national and governorate-level tables on weapon(s) type/cause of death in this report cover causing civilian deaths by: Improvised Explosive Device (e.g. roadside bombs, booby-trapped or remotely triggered vehicles or other objects); Suicide attack (whether on foot or driving a vehicle); Air attack (involving aircraft-launched weaponry); Shelling (ground-based weapons including mortars, artillery); Gunfire (i.e. from small arms/machine gun, skirmishes, armed clashes, shootings); Execution (generally refers to persons after capture, summary execution); Other (less frequently-used weapons, such as knife attacks on non-captives) Mass graves are a method of disposing of bodies after death, not a cause of death. In the past, IBC coded most of these as executions (which is a cause of death), because (post-) this was almost invariably how those found in mass graves were, with most such cases occurring in areas seized by ISIL (and therefore from onwards). However in 7 to 8 mass graves could also contain bodies hurriedly buried during battles to oust ISIL, including their own fighters, civilians during these battles, and others; and therefore, whose deaths could not be clearly recorded as execution in 7-8. Thus it is not safe to assume that all were either victims of execution or non-combatants. This 7-8 dataset includes 85 bodies in 8 mass graves to whom this applies. Of these, one mass grave containing 5 bodies was discovered in Diyala; all the rest were in Ninewa. This represents 5 out 5 deaths reported for Diyala and 8 of 87 for Ninewa during 7-8. Current scope The following charts, tables and maps explore the nature and distribution of violent civilian deaths in successively greater detail, starting at the country level, then governorate, then district, for the years, 7, and 8. Country-wide and governorate data is given by month, and district level data for each year. Comparative validity: Data from is included to indicate lower-level, underlying phenomena that can be obscured by larger-scale trends such as the intensified sectarian conflict during - 7 or the violent capture of territories by ISIL and the subsequent war to oust it. Where methods differed in (specifically, in the separate coding of Mosul, Tilkaif and Hamdaniya districts) the data has been conformed to the methods available for 7-8, during which these three districts converging in Mosul city had to be combined. Weapon categories were similarly harmonised across the three years to make comparisons valid. Consistency of coverage: The IBC database of 55, and database entries since has % coverage of the number of deaths, % of date (or date range), 99.9% of location at the governorate (province) level, and 95% for cause of death (weapons). This may be compared to 9% for conflict actors involved. Therefore, this preliminary analysis only focuses on those

13 EASO COI - IRAQ: IBC DATA ON CIVILIANS KILLED IN IRAQ elements that can be most consistently recorded. Basically, the more elementary and tangible the information time, date, number of bodies, category of weapon causing death the more consistently and reliably it is reported. As explained above, only 9% of conflict actors/perpetrators may be consistently available for recording. Determining the specific actors behind a given event is frequently difficult, except where perpetrators/conflict actors are uniformed or otherwise openly identifiable, or the weapons used were available to only one actor. Determining specific actors is especially difficult where civilian deaths are concerned because most conflict actors will claim not to target civilians, or some actors will take false credit for attacks in which civilian deaths may have occurred incidentally, among many other reasons. Due to the risk of inaccuracy, as well as the inconsistency inherent to the recording of specific perpetrators/conflict actors responsible for, this variable was not included in this preliminary analysis. Regarding the location of, while location is always indicated in media or other local reporting, precise location is not, and geographic coordinates virtually never (these can be assigned post-facto, but doing this does not increase precision). District-level information is however present in IBC for 9% of, and represents a good compromise between the virtually complete coverage at governorate level and the 99% coverage at the town (or village) level, because 7% of the latter is in fact of events that happened closest to but outside the named town (e.g. on a road to the town). District-level data largely compensates for this. Any discussion of IBC data at governorate level or above (e.g. regionally or nationally) should however only use the governorate figures, not figures derived from totaling district numbers (because this would miss the 7% of only recorded at the governorate level). Intensity of violence (number of /k population): Comparing violence levels or intensity between geographic areas can only be meaningfully done after adjusting for size of the population in each area so that we are measuring violence rates rather than absolute numbers. This is why homicide data is invariably presented as homicides per of population.. Thematic maps comparing intensity levels across regions can be highly misleading without this adjustment, and the district maps and governorate tables in this report are accordingly shown per of population, based on current best-available population estimates. The source used for Iraq s population estimates at the governorate and district level in this report was WorldPop, which is based at the University of Southampton. WorldPop s population estimates for Iraq are available at their website and are based on the UN s estimates of national population taking into account a range of factors (and may therefore be different from national or government census data). Current limitations In its non-preliminary work IBC uses a range to account for unresolvable differences between reports. For clarity in the analysis of trends, as in the graphs on its website or for the year in this analysis, IBC uses the higher number from its totals. IBC states on its website that gaps in recording and reporting suggest that even its highest totals to date may be missing many civilian deaths from violence. All totals in IBC should be considered provisional, in that the database has been revised and updated with new information throughout the existence of the project (always adding, not subtracting, from its overall total because of the tendency for civilian deaths to be under- rather than over-reported). Beyond this general precaution, the data in this report for 7-8 should also be considered preliminary, as it is based on a first-pass analysis of IBC s Recent Events reporting. In earlier years, Recent Event-based totals have generally been 5-5% lower than the fully-compiled data produced by IBC. For a discussion on homicide rates, see :

Iraqi boundaries used (both governorate and district) are as most currently endorsed by the UN OCHA Information Management Working Group, with the following exceptions: The districts of Mosul, Hamdaniya and Tilkaif, all of which encompass parts of the city of Mosul, had to be combined due to the preliminary nature of IBC data for 7 8. Also combined is Ana (with Ruua), Balad (with Fares), Samarra (with Thares), Al-Suwaira (with Azezia), and the Baghdad district Al Resafa (with Thawra and Thawra ). The new partitions in brackets were all designated as districts after IBC began coding civilian deaths at the district level, and are combined here with the original parent district. It should be noted that the data for 7-8 is defined by IBC as preliminary. Please also see the guidance notes at the beginning of this report. All data, tables and maps are the copyright of
