Europe continues to be the most peaceful region, with 7 of top 10 countries. Although Europe did go down in all three domains over the past year. Mainly due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Europe is now less peaceful than it was 15 years ago.I'm not sure what happened here in Czechland, with the five spot drop and falling out of the top 10. But even in 12th place I feel much safer living in Euroland than anywhere else.
The USA remains at 131st place. Behind Haiti and South Africa, but ahead of Brazil, Eritrea, and Palestine.
The USA recorded the 4th largest overall increase in its homicide rate, which is more than 6 per 100.000 people. This is more than six times higher than most Western European countries.
The Middle East and North Africa is the world's least peaceful region.
Ukraine dropped 14 places to 157, just ahead of Russia at 158. Followed by the five least peaceful countries, with no change from last year.
159. Democratic Republic of the Congo
160. South Sudan
161. Syria
162. Yemen
163. Afghanistan
Я за Україну. Я за Україною. Слава Україні Stojím za Ukrajinou! I stand with Ukraine.
