The classification of a conflict is important in determining the obligations that arise for the parties to it. This edition of the Review focuses on the legal aspect of categorizing armed conflict. There are different methods of measuring and classifying wars, be it from a historical, behavioural, psychological, economic, sociological or political point of view. However, the 2008 edition of the Center for International Development and Conflict Management's Peace and Conflict study indicated that this overall decline in conflicts had stalled. The Human Security Report and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) have documented a significant decline in the number and severity of armed conflicts since the end of the cold war.
