Every year, the Global Peace Index (product of the Institute for Economics and Peace) attempts to determine the level of peacefulness of 162 world´s largest countries. Measuring the countries’ peacefulness is a complex process based on evaluating a wide range of indicators. There are 22 indicators in total, including things like number of external and internal conflicts, relations with neighboring countries, political instability, terrorist activity, number of homicides per 100,000 people, number of jailed persons per 100,000 people, nuclear and heavy weapons capability and many more. Since 2007 when the project was launched, Iceland has always been the safest and most peaceful country in the world. In this year´s TOP 5 peaceful countries, Iceland (this year´s score 1.189) was followed by Denmark (1.193), Austria (1.200), New Zealand (1.236), and Switzerland (1.258). In these countries, as well as in those which ranked close by, you should not worry about your safety. But let us have a look at the other end of the chart. These 25 countries have been listed as the most dangerous countries in the world and definitely should not be among your vacation destinations. https://twitter.com/list25 https://www.facebook.com/list25 http://list25.com Check out the written list - http://list25.com/25-most-dangerous-countries-according-to-global-peace-index/ Here’s a preview: Mexico (2.500) Ethiopia (2.502) Ivory Coast (2.546) Ukraine (2.546) Chad (2.558) Egypt (2.571) India (2.571) Guinea – Bissau (2.591) Lebanon (2.620) Yemen (2.629) Zimbabwe (2.662) Israel (2.689) Colombia (2.701) Nigeria (2.710) Russia (3.039) North Korea (3.071) Pakistan (3.107) Democratic Republic of Congo (3.213) Central African Republic (3.331) Sudan (3.362) Somalia (3.368) Iraq (3.377) South Sudan (3.397) Afghanistan (3.416) Syria (3.650)
