Global Peace Index 2022: the 10 safest and most dangerous countries in the world

Afghanistan is the world's most dangerous country for the fifth consecutive year, but it is Ukraine which has recorded the largest deterioration in the Global Peace Index 2022.

Since Russian troops invaded the Eastern European country in February, it has fallen 17 places, to 153, in terms of its peacefulness.

Russia has also taken a hit, falling five places to 160 out of 163 countries. Both nations received a "very low" rating in the annual report.

Iceland was ranked number one, a position it has held since the inception of the index in 2008.

The five countries with the largest deteriorations were Ukraine, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Russia and Haiti, while the five countries that improved the most were Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and Algeria.

Europe is the most peaceful region in the world, where seven of the ten safest countries are located.

Eight countries that appeared among the highest rankings in last year’s report remained among the top 10 again this year.
