Patterns of Mass Killing

Patterns of Mass Killing

CAVR, as quoted in Gerry Van Klinken blog entry. The Timorese truth commission CAVR undertook extensive and cutting-edge research to determine the likely death toll due to deprivation in excess of normal mortality. After correction for loss of collective memories, this came to 104,000, with a lower bound of 84,000 and an upper of 183,000 (CAVR 2005; Silva and Ball 2006). This is more than five times higher than the additional toll due to targeted killing and disappearance of civilians, estimated at 18,600.2
