What country is most involved in peace on earth? What are the countries where terror reigns?
It is difficult to provide a concrete answer to this question: What is the most peaceful country? However, there are many data that can show us the current situation of a particular country.
Vision of Humanity and the measure of "peace" by country
So what are the most "peaceful" countries and how to calculate this index? Vision of Humanity is a kind of observatory of peace in the world. By collecting data in each country, it classifies countries according to different criteria.
For now, only three countries are available at the regional level, namely, United States , United Kingdom , and Mexico .
Attention, this ranking does not determine where one lives best where one is the happiest, but who participates or does not participate in global peace!
You can have an overview of the Global Peace Index with the ranking of each country that takes into account the following criteria:
- Loss of crime in society
- Police security
- Homicides
- Prison population
- Access to arms
- Organized crime
- Violence
- Murder
- Political instability
- Political power
- Importation of weapons
- Terrorist activities
- Deaths in internal conflicts
- Military expenditure
- Armed population
- United Nations peacekeeping costs
- Heavy and nuclear weapons
- Export of arms
- Population displacement
- External relations
- Conflict engagement
- Deaths in external conflicts
On the site you can find many explanations and news about what is happening in the countries currently. As well as the history of the Global Peace Index since 2008.
If you look closely at this ranking, you will see that countries like France or Italy and especially the United States or China, are pretty bad or very badly classified. This is significant because countries like France are involved in many conflicts and import or export many weapons worldwide.
Countries such as Brazil, the United States and many other “developed” countries can be seen, which affect the bottom of the ranking while they are economically very strong. It is indeed a paradox in a country like Brazil where urban violence is very developed and where people are sometimes afraid to venture into a particular city! The port of arms in the United States also participates greatly in bringing down the country in the ranking, not to mention the militarization and wars in which the country is committed...
