  • Results of the Global Peace Index of 2016 indicate an increase in violence globally.

    Deaths from conflict, terrorist attacks, and displacement of people are the three factors that broke global records and affected levels of peace in turn.

    The top five peaceful countries are Iceland, Denmark, Austria, New Zealand and Portugal.

    The least peaceful are Syria followed by South Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia.

  • Statistics

    Historically less harmonious countries

    Historically less harmonious countries
  • Increased terrorism and higher levels of political instability were the chief factors for the global deterioration of peace.

    Over the last decade, from 2007-2016, the number of refugees and displaced persons has doubled to 60 million people - nearly 1% of the world's population.

    The global economic impact of violence reached an astounding $13.6 trillion, which for the sake of representation equals $1,876 individually.

  • Information

    Middle East and North African (MENA) nations

  • Majority of the global deterioration comes from the developments in the Middle East and North African (MENA) nations. When MENA peace stats were taken out of the index over the last decade, it improved the rest of the world's average peace levels.

  • Out of the 163 countries studied, India was ranked 141st in the GPI report, standing 5th out of the 7 countries in the South-Asia region.

    Violence impacted India's economy by $679.80 billion, upto $525 per person.

    According to Killelia, levels of peace in India have diminished because of the increase in deaths by organised conflicts and a decline in security personnel per 100,000 people.
