Most of us know about the ongoing armed conflict in the Middle East at large, and more specifically in Syria and Iraq, or in the eastern provinces of the Ukraine. But technically speaking these are not considered wars in the legal sense. No recognised state has officially declared open war on any other in these two regions. It would surprise you to know that there are ten countries around the globe that are currently in a state of war with each other, as defined by international law. Some of them you might not even know about.
