RETIERED 11 August 2026 under D-028 against EVIDENCE_PROTOCOL's six-level source hierarchy. The previous value was an ad hoc quality score on an undocumented scale. Tier now records SOURCE TYPE only; how far this project has checked the document is the Status column. Previous value: tier 2. PARTIAL, 10 August 2026, and the limit is stated rather than glossed. ohchr.org and reliefweb.int both returned HTTP 403 to direct retrieval, so the release itself has not been opened by this project. The core figures are corroborated by UN News of 28 June 2022, a United Nations source independent of this book's source manuscript: 306,887 civilians killed between 1 March 2011 and 31 March 2021; 143,350 individually documented and a further 163,537 assessed by statistical analysis; method described as imputation and multiple systems estimation. The 95 per cent credible interval of 281,443 to 337,971 is NOT corroborated by that source and still rests on the project fact-check's reading of the OHCHR footnote. The underlying report is A/HRC/50/68. Obtain the release or the report before print
