Peace

Poland ranked 27th in the annual Global Peace Index which has just been presented in London.

The safest country in the world is Norway while the most dangerous is Iraq.

121 countries from Algeria to Zimbabwe have been ranked by their 'absence of violence', using metrics that combine both internal and external factors like street violence, organized crime and operations of armed forces in a given country.

The Index has been endorsed by His Holiness Dalaj Lama, archbishop Desmond Tutu and former US president Jimmy Carter, among others. Peace index scores from 1 to 5 where 1 is most peaceful and Poland received 1.683 after considering factors like level of crime, respect for human rights, political instability and the potential for terrorist acts.
