This paper examines the effect of the 2003 invasion in Iraq on human security in the country. The authors compare mortality during the 14.6 months before the invasion with the 17.8 months that followed and assess the change in causes of death over that period. The paper concludes that small arms have played a key role in the increase in the violent death rate in Iraq.
