Most peaceful countries in the world 2024

Iceland was the most peaceful country in the world in 2024 with an index value of 1.1. Ireland, Austria, and New Zealand followed behind.What is the Global Peace Index? The Global Peace Index is an effort by the Institute for Economics and Peace to measure the degree of peacefulness in countries across the world and rank them accordingly. The first list was created in 2007 and has since then been published annually. The index includes a number of indicators relating to both domestic and international peacefulness. International indicators In regards to international affairs the majority of indicators relate to involvement in military conflict or the efforts of the state in question to resolve conflict and ensure the safety of those affected. For example those states that give more financial support to UN peacekeeping missions are considered to be more peaceful while those who have a higher military expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) are considered to be less peaceful. The United States never reached the top 20 of the list, in part due to it having a high level of military spending as a percentage of GDP. Domestic factors Domestic indicators focus on both the amount of violence and crime in addition to incarceration rates. Again, the United States fails to reach levels akin to other countries. The country’s incarceration rates are significantly higher than in other OEDC countries. Moreover, the number of deaths from gun violence also contributes to the relatively low peacefulness ranking of the United States.

2024年，冰岛荣膺全球最和平国家，其和平指数值为1.1。紧随其后的是爱尔兰、奥地利和新西兰。何谓全球和平指数？全球和平指数系由和平经济研究所发起，旨在衡量世界各国和平程度并据此进行排名的举措。该指数首份榜单于2007年编制，此后每年发布一次。指数包含多个与国内及国际和平程度相关的指标。在国际事务方面，大部分指标关乎国家在军事冲突中的参与程度，或该国政府为解决冲突、保障受影响者安全所付出的努力。例如，向联合国维和行动提供更多财政支持的国家被视为更具和平性，而军事开支占国内生产总值（GDP）比例较高的国家则被认为和平程度较低。美国从未进入榜单前20名，部分原因在于其军事开支占GDP的比例较高。国内因素方面，国内指标聚焦于暴力、犯罪的发生量，以及监禁率。同样，美国未能达到其他国家的水平。该国的监禁率显著高于其他经合组织国家。此外，枪支暴力导致的死亡人数亦对美国相对较低的和平指数排名产生了影响。
