Russia 0 of 100: July Civilian Toll Hits 170 Per Day — Highest Since 2023; Kyiv Jul 5-6 Kills 21-Plus, Zero of 23 Missiles Intercepted; Dnipro Strike Kills 17; EU Special Tribunal Active; Ukraine 50.0 of 100 Confirmed; South Sudan 0 of 100 — Famine Risk in Four Counties
Russia's July civilian toll reaches 170 per day — the highest rate since 2023 — as the Kyiv barrage kills 21-plus with zero of 23 missiles intercepted; El Salvador's Critical-band score of 15.0 of 100 is now published and the pending queue is clear.
Independent daily scoring of how 1,256 institutions recognize, respond to, and reduce suffering — 0–100 composite, 8 dimensions.
Iran's Accountability dimension reflects a priced 784-plus execution arc. The 141-execution June count is new monthly evidence within that arc.
“Iran holds at 2.5 of 100 with 141 June executions on record as the Khamenei burial approaches July 9. If the funeral window closes without a documented crackdown, does the June monthly execution count constitute new scored conduct on the Accountability dimension — or does the double-count rule hold?”
Russia holds at 0 of 100 — the absolute floor, reinforced for the sixth consecutive cycle in the July series. The July 5-6 Kyiv barrage killed 21-plus civilians with zero of 23 missiles intercepted.
Why it matters
Russia's July civilian-casualty rate is 170 per day — the highest since 2023. The Kyiv barrage intercepted zero of 23 missiles. Russia holds at 0 of 100. Ukraine holds at 50.0 of 100 on its own civilian-protection conduct.

How to read this briefing— Bands, scores, and terms
Schema guide
The 5 performance bands
critical0–20
developing20–40
functional40–60
established60–80
exemplary80–100
Two scales
Each of the 8 dimensions is scored 1.0–5.0; these combine into a 0–100 composite score, mapped to the 5 bands above.
Key terms
Band crossing
A score change large enough to move an entity from one performance band into an adjacent one — the most structurally significant finding in a given cycle.
Boundary watch
An entity whose current score is within 3 points of a band threshold, flagged for priority reassessment in the next cycle.
Carry-forward
A dimensional credit retained from a prior assessment when new evidence is insufficient to revise a specific dimension; disclosed explicitly.
First baseline
An entity's inaugural composite score — no published score exists to compare against, so delta is not shown.
Floor designation
The most serious finding: all 8 dimensions resolve at the lowest behavioral anchor (1.0/5.0) across multiple cycles, yielding a composite of 0.
Forward trigger
A scheduled future reassessment event (e.g., a policy implementation date or legislative deadline) that may materially change an entity's score.
El Salvador's score is now 15.0 of 100 in the Critical band — the downgrade was applied on July 5. The pending queue is clear. China's Ethnic Unity Law diaspora clause has been in force six days without a documented enforcement action.
El Salvador holds at 15.0 of 100 in the Critical band. The July 2, 2026 proposal to move El Salvador from 20.3 of 100 (Developing band) to 15.0 of 100 (Critical band) — a delta of -5.3 — was applied on July 5, 2026. This is the score El Salvador now carries in all public-facing systems.
Where this sits
Read the full signal
The proposal was based on: Cristosal — El Salvador's leading human rights organization after 25 years — forced into exile under prosecution threat; the indefinite presidential re-election constitutional amendment enacted August 2025 by a 57-to-3 vote; 86 documented political prisoners; child life-sentences; and 140-plus rights defenders who have fled the country. El Salvador drops from the July priority cluster. This is the first applied score change since the June series — the prior apply was Humana on June 21, 2026. The pending queue entered July 6 empty and exits July 6 empty. China holds at 19.5 of 100 in the Critical band. The Ethnic Unity and Progress Law's Article 63 diaspora liability has been in force for six days without a documented enforcement action — no prosecution, forced rendition, or family detention of a diaspora member has been confirmed in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States. The sub-threshold composite dock of approximately -1.5 points does not cross the change threshold without an enforcement event. China at 19.5 of 100 sits 0.5 points below the Critical-to-Developing boundary at 20.0.
Sudan's El Obeid siege is drawing direct comparisons to El Fasher — the site where crimes against humanity were documented. Sudan holds at 0 of 100. The DRC's Ebola outbreak recorded its fastest 3-day growth, with 1,561 cases and 506 deaths. DRC holds at 2.3 of 100.
Sudan holds at 0 of 100 — the absolute floor, reinforced for the fourth consecutive cycle. Al Jazeera's July 6 report frames El Obeid as potentially the next El Fasher, documenting a pattern match with the site that produced Amnesty International's crimes-against-humanity finding in the July series.
Where this sits
Read the full signal
The UN red alert issued July 3 is now three days on record: 500,000 people face imminent siege risk in North Kordofan's state capital alongside 105,000 internally displaced persons in surrounding zones. Al-Burhan has not accepted a ceasefire. The RSF's El Obeid offensive is non-state conduct. Sudan at 0 of 100 reflects the Sudanese government's own prior conduct: the breakdown of state protection and documented rejection of ceasefire proposals. The scored upgrade trigger — an implemented civilian-protecting ceasefire with unobstructed humanitarian access — has not occurred. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) holds at 2.3 of 100 — near-floor Critical. The WHO July 6 update recorded 1,561 confirmed cases and 506 deaths — up from 1,406 cases and 438 deaths on July 3. The 155-case 3-day increment is the fastest in the outbreak's history. The outbreak is in the July natural Bundibugyo seasonal peak window, active through July 31. No approved Bundibugyo vaccine exists. Contact tracing stands at approximately 45 percent. Multi-continent spread to Uganda, France, and Germany was confirmed in the prior cycle. The floor-crossing trigger — documented government obstruction of WHO response corridors in Haut-Uele, Ituri, or North Kivu — has not occurred. Confirmed at 0 of 100 for Sudan; confidence: high. Confirmed at 2.3 of 100 for DRC; confidence: high.
Iran holds at 2.5 of 100 with 141 June executions now on record as the Khamenei burial approaches July 9. Haiti holds at 4.7 of 100 as work authorization for approximately 350,000 Haitians expires July 10 — a United States-conduct event, not scored against Haiti.
Iran holds at 2.5 of 100 — near-floor Critical. 141 executions in June 2026 are now on record — the highest monthly figure in the priced 784-plus year-to-date count (the highest annual rate in 37 years). The Khamenei burial is scheduled for July 9 — three days away.
Where this sits
Read the full signal
The protest-suppression watch flag remains active through July 9. A documented lethal crackdown on mourners, demonstrators, or political rivals during the July 4-9 funeral window constitutes a new scored harm event. Under the double-count rule, the 141 June executions and the Fallahi death sentence (July 1) continue the already-priced 784-plus annual pattern — a single month's count does not open a new scored threshold on its own. US-Iran Doha nuclear talks are scheduled to resume July 11. Haiti holds at 4.7 of 100 — near-floor Critical. The Temporary Protected Status work-authorization for approximately 350,000 Haitians expires July 10 — four days away. This is United States conduct, scored against the United States under the benchmark's attribution rule — not against Haiti. The Haitian government did not cause the TPS termination. Gang control of approximately 90 percent of Port-au-Prince — with 8,200-plus people killed year-to-date — is non-state conduct. 5.8 million people are food insecure and 1.5 million are displaced. No fresh Haitian-state own-conduct event was identified in the July 6 window. The July 10 TPS expiration is the next concrete US-conduct checkpoint in this arc. Confirmed at 2.5 of 100 for Iran; confidence: high. Confirmed at 4.7 of 100 for Haiti; confidence: medium.
Israel enters the July cluster on its own perpetrator conduct and is confirmed at 0 of 100. Palestine holds at 25.0 of 100 — harm from Israeli strikes is attributed to Israel, not Palestine. Venezuela reaches Day 12 with 3,300-plus dead. The benchmark has now screened 60 false positives across four consecutive nights without an incorrect score move.
Israel holds at 0 of 100 — the absolute floor — and enters the July priority cluster for the first time as a perpetrator own-conduct entity. The July 6 al-Mawasi drone strike targeted displaced people in a humanitarian zone in Gaza. The Nabatieh car strike in Lebanon killed four people.
Where this sits
Read the full signal
Both events are Israel's own realized conduct, correctly scored against Israel as the perpetrator. The al-Mawasi drone strike would constitute a scored downgrade trigger for any entity above its floor. Israel is already at the 0 of 100 floor; these events reinforce but cannot lower the floor. Israel's entry clarifies the attribution architecture for this cluster: harm perpetrated by Israel is scored against Israel; Lebanon (17.2 of 100) is scored on Lebanon's own state conduct; Palestine (25.0 of 100) is scored on Palestinian-authority own conduct. Palestine holds at 25.0 of 100. The July 6 killing of six Palestinians is Israel's conduct, scored against Israel under the directionality rule. Hamas's announced dissolution of its Gaza government is a procedural and unrealized handover — the committee remains outside Gaza; members have described it as a formality. Absence of new Palestinian-state own-harm is not an upgrade signal; absence of new own-harm is not scored as positive conduct. Venezuela holds at 18.0 of 100. The official death toll from the June 24 earthquake reached 3,300-plus on Day 12 with approximately 50,000 people unaccounted. The July 8 two-week checkpoint is two days out. Acceptance of external aid from international partners continues. Fifteen false-positive screens were documented for the fourth consecutive cycle — the first four-cycle record streak in the benchmark's history. All seven false-positive category types remain simultaneously active for the fourth straight night. 60 screens across four cycles with zero incorrect score movements.
Countries — Russia: Record July Pace; 170 Per Day Civilian Casualties; Zero of 23 Missiles Intercepted
Russia's July civilian-casualty rate stands at 170 per day — the highest since 2023 — as the Kyiv barrage kills 21-plus with zero of 23 missiles intercepted and Dnipro kills 17; Russia holds at 0 of 100.
Read the full signal
Russia (0 of 100): The July 5-6 Kyiv barrage killed 21-plus civilians with zero of 23 missiles intercepted. The simultaneous Dnipro strike killed 17. That is 38-plus confirmed dead in the July 5-6 window — the highest two-day total in the July series.
The July daily civilian-casualty rate stands at 170 per day — the highest since 2023. By this quantitative measure, July 2026 is the most severe month in the benchmark's tracking period for Russia-attributed civilian targeting. The EU crime-of-aggression Special Tribunal is operational. 20,500-plus children forcibly deported remain on record.
Russia at 0 of 100 cannot go lower. Ukraine at 50.0 of 100 holds on its own civilian-protection conduct. The attribution rule functions correctly: Russia's deliberate targeting is Russia's scored harm; Ukraine's sheltering and evacuation response is Ukraine's scored conduct.
The 170/day figure is a structurally distinct data point. It surpasses the 2023 seasonal average and positions July 2026 as the most intensive documented sustained pace of Russia-attributed civilian targeting in this benchmark's tracking period. The EU Special Tribunal documents accountability in parallel.

Countries — Sudan: Al Jazeera 'Next El Fasher' Framing; El Obeid Day 3 Under UN Red Alert; RSF Siege Active
Al Jazeera's July 6 report frames El Obeid as following the El Fasher atrocity pattern; the UN red alert is three days active; 500,000 people at imminent siege risk; Sudan holds at 0 of 100.
Read the full signal
Sudan (0 of 100): Al Jazeera's July 6 report explicitly draws a comparison between El Obeid and El Fasher — the site that produced Amnesty International's crimes-against-humanity finding in the July series. The framing documents a humanitarian-news consensus forming around El Obeid as the next major atrocity geography.
The UN red alert (July 3) is now three days on record. 500,000 people remain at imminent siege risk in North Kordofan's state capital alongside 105,000 IDPs in surrounding zones. Al-Burhan has not accepted a ceasefire. The Amnesty El Fasher crimes-against-humanity report stands from July 3.
Both evidence packages are RSF (non-state) conduct. Sudan at 0 of 100 reflects the Sudanese government's own prior conduct: the breakdown of state protection and Al-Burhan's documented rejection of ceasefire proposals. The scored upgrade trigger — an implemented civilian-protecting ceasefire with unobstructed access — has not occurred.
The structural condition: Al Jazeera's framing is not a scored event. But it documents the humanitarian-news consensus that El Obeid is following the El Fasher playbook. If El Obeid follows El Fasher to a confirmed atrocity finding, the record will show the signal was on record by July 6. OCHA's documentation of the El Obeid siege evolution is the next critical evidence checkpoint.
10 signals shown
Risk signals
Developments that may affect future scores. Watch items from the Jul 6 briefing.
Risk
Russia's 170 civilian casualties per day in July 2026 is the highest sustained pace since 2023. The July 5-6 Kyiv barrage intercepted zero of 23 missiles and killed 21-plus. The Dnipro strike killed 17 more in the same window.
Risk
Sudan's El Obeid siege is three days active under the UN red alert. Al Jazeera's July 6 report frames El Obeid as following the El Fasher atrocity pattern, with 500,000 people at imminent siege risk in North Kordofan state capital.
Risk
The DRC's Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak recorded its fastest 3-day case growth on July 6 — 1,561 cases and 506 deaths, up 155 cases from July 3. The July natural peak window is active through July 31.
Risk
Iran's Khamenei burial window closes July 9 — three days away. 141 June executions are now on record as the highest monthly total in the priced arc. US-Iran talks resume July 11.
Risk
Haiti's TPS work-authorization expires July 10 — four days away. Approximately 350,000 Haitians in the United States lose work authorization. This is United States conduct tracked in the benchmark's attribution framework.
Risk
Venezuela's earthquake toll has reached 3,300-plus dead on Day 12. The July 8 two-week checkpoint arrives in two days — the standard mark for distinguishing capacity failure from deliberate obstruction.
Risk
China's Article 63 diaspora enforcement watch is in its sixth day without a documented enforcement action since the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law entered force July 1.
Risk
EU AI Act becomes fully applicable on August 2 — 27 days away. General-purpose AI transparency obligations, Article 50 labeling, and whistleblower protections activate. xAI and OpenAI have not published compliance roadmaps.
Risk
Nigeria's August IPC lean-season update — currently tracking 35-million-plus food insecure — is the next checkpoint for a Phase 5 famine declaration in Borno with documented state aid obstruction.
Score movements
All entities assessed this cycle. No score changes.
7.8 million food insecure; 73,300 at Phase 5 Catastrophe — up 160 percent since June; famine risk in four counties; Ebola cross-border risk is exogenous; floor reinforced.
New cluster entrant on perpetrator own-conduct: Jul 6 al-Mawasi drone strike on displaced people and Nabatieh car strike (four killed) are Israel's own realized conduct; floor confirmed.
WHO July 6 count 1,561 cases, 506 deaths — fastest 3-day growth in outbreak history; July natural peak active; floor-crossing trigger has not occurred.
Next signal: — July natural Bundibugyo Ebola peak window closes — documented government obstruction of WHO response corridors in Haut-Uele, Ituri, or North Kivu is the floor-crossing trigger toward 0 of 100
Next signal: — Close of Khamenei state funeral window — documented lethal crackdown on mourners or demonstrators, or mass arrest of political figures during July 4-9, constitutes a new scored harm event; US-Iran talks resume July 11
TPS work-authorization expires July 10 affecting 350,000 Haitians — United States conduct, not scored against Haiti; gang control 90 percent non-state; 5.8 million food insecure.
Next signal: — TPS work-authorization expiration for approximately 350,000 Haitians — United States-conduct forward checkpoint; documented Haitian-state security-force atrocities or deliberate relief obstruction remains the Haiti-scored downgrade trigger
JNIM fuel blockade of Bamako and July 4 attacks are non-state; Sahel calibration flag (Mali 12.5 vs. Burkina Faso 6.3) enters thirteenth day without coordinator action.
Record 35-million-plus food insecure continues the June 19 already-priced band-crossing; JNIM and ISWAP attacks are non-state; August IPC lean-season update is the next checkpoint.
Day 12 earthquake: toll 3,300-plus dead, 50,000-plus unaccounted; rising toll is disaster scale; July 8 checkpoint two days out; aid acceptance blocks downgrade.
Next signal: — 14-day checkpoint — independently corroborated suppression of casualty data or deliberate aid obstruction is the downgrade trigger; sustained effective transparent relief is the upgrade trigger
Ethnic Unity Law Article 63 in force six days without documented enforcement; double-count rule confirmed; sub-threshold dock approximately 1.5 points.
Jul 6 killing of six Palestinians attributed to Israel; Hamas government dissolution is procedural and unrealized; no Palestinian-state own-conduct identified.
Jul 5-6 Kyiv barrage and Dnipro strike attributed to Russia under the directionality rule; Ukraine civilian-protection response confirms Functional band at 50.0 of 100.
First documented Article 63 enforcement action under the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law — prosecution, forced rendition, or family detention of a diaspora member — is the next scored threshold event. Law entered force July 1; six days without enforcement as of July 6.
NLRB review of the unfair-labor-practice charge filed after Apple closed its Towson, Maryland store — its first unionized store. An NLRB complaint or ruling is the conversion trigger.
July 8 checkpoint — documented aid obstruction or independently corroborated suppression of casualty data is the downgrade trigger; sustained effective transparent relief is the upgrade trigger toward 20.0.
Realized WFP food-assistance cuts plus a formal IPC Phase 5 famine declaration in Borno with documented aid obstruction — August IPC lean-season update is the next checkpoint.
Forced cuts that measurably degrade staff or student support are the Accountability watch trigger; capitulation abandoning academic-freedom stance is the Integrity downgrade trigger.
July natural Bundibugyo Ebola peak window — active through July 31. Documented government obstruction of WHO response corridors in Haut-Uele, Ituri, or North Kivu is the floor-crossing trigger. Fastest 3-day case growth in outbreak history now on record (155 cases in 3 days).
A documented lethal crackdown on mourners, demonstrators, or political rivals during the Khamenei funeral window (July 4-9) constitutes a new scored harm event from the near-floor 2.5 of 100. Burial is July 9. US-Iran Doha talks resume July 11.
A new ceasefire agreement AND Lebanese Armed Forces assuming sovereign control of southern Lebanese territory AND reconstruction delivery together constitute scored positive own-conduct — the upgrade trigger from 17.2 toward 20.0.
Independently verified deliberate civilian targeting or a disproportionate mass-casualty cross-border strike is the downgrade trigger. Durable equitable relief scale-up with Afghan-deportation reversal is the upgrade trigger toward 20.0.
Formal IPC Phase 5 famine declaration covering Buur Hakaba or Baidoa combined with documented government aid obstruction is the scored change trigger. Famine risk window extends through September 2026.
Documented Haitian-state security-force atrocities or deliberate relief obstruction is the downgrade trigger. Verified state-led civilian protection or relief restoration would be the upgrade trigger from 4.7 of 100.
DOJ False Claims Act complaint (kickbacks and disability discrimination) and Barrows v. Humana class action (nH Predict AI claim denials). Either concluded finding confirms the Developing-band designation.
Due-process restoration, civil-society reinstatement, and reversal of the indefinite re-election amendment are the upgrade triggers toward 20.0 of 100. Enforcement of the amendment in the 2027 election is the next structured forward event. A further human-rights-defender imprisonment or mass-detention escalation constitutes additional downward pressure from the Critical band.
Documented discriminatory denial of emergency protection to stateless bidoon or migrant workers during wartime — Equity downgrade trigger. Durable verified expansion of bidoon rights or citizenship recognition — upgrade trigger.
Independently documented Palestinian-authority deliberate targeting of, or systematic aid diversion from, its own civilians is the downgrade trigger. Verified equitable civilian-protection or relief scale-up under Palestinian control toward the Developing interior is the upgrade trigger.
Coordinator-level Sahel-band calibration review. Burkina Faso (6.3 of 100) was reassessed in June on comparable UN-documented state-perpetration conduct. Mali's starting-point score of 12.5 is above the likely calibrated range. No timeline set.

·8 entities at composite 0 with documented evidence pattern
Composite scores resolving at zero — methodology disclosure
These entities consistently score the worst result across all 8 dimensions of compassionate conduct — the benchmark's most serious classification.
What “floor” means: every one of the 8 dimensions (Recognition, Response, Reduction, and 5 others) resolves at the lowest behavioral anchor (1.0/5.0) across multiple assessment cycles, yielding a composite score of 0. Full methodology.
Daily briefings surface the headline finding. Full benchmark reports include all 40 subdimension scores, complete evidence trails, certified assessments, and sector-level analysis packages — the record researchers and journalists cite.
