Abstract
We live in an age of conflict. Following data by the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, there was a substantial increase in the number of conflict victims all around the world between 2011 and 2014 resulting in an estimate of 131,000 conflict fatalities in 2014 - the highest death toll since the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Even though this trend did not continue in the following years, there are still more than 100 ongoing conflicts at the very moment (Allansson, Melander, & Themnér, 2017; Pettersson & Eck, 2018).
