Ranking of safest countries
The ranking is based on an assessment of 163 countries and their levels of peace and security, considering various factors such as the number of violent deaths, impact of terrorism, nuclear capability, social security, military spending relative to the GDP, internal conflicts and international relations.
safest countries in the world
On the global stage, Iceland stands out as the safest country in the world, maintaining this position since 2008. Its reputation is reinforced by Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and Austria, which occupy the next places in this safety ranking.
It is noteworthy that these countries are also recognized as some of the best places to live, demonstrating the relationship between safety and quality of life.
least safe countries
However, the situation is quite different for countries facing significant peace and security challenges.
Afghanistan unfortunately ranks at the bottom for the eighth consecutive year, followed by Yemen, Syria, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This constancy makes us face the urgency of addressing the problems faced by these nations and seeking effective solutions to promote stability and peace in their territories.
What about Brazil?
Unfortunately, the Brazil remains in a worrying position, occupying the 132nd place in the ranking among the 163 countries evaluated. This position reinforces the need to address issues related to violence and security in the country.
Other research findings
Recent indicators reveal a worrying panorama in relation to global political stability. While instability has eased in just 22 nations, 59 countries have seen instability deteriorate over the past year.
Since 2008, two indicators have deteriorated significantly on a global scale: “armed violence” and “external conflicts”.
These data reinforce the urgency of addressing these challenges, both nationally and internationally, with a view to promoting security and peace.
