Uganda has beaten USA as one of the most peaceful countries in the world in the latest Global Peace Index 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uganda ranked 124 compared to South Africa at 130 and USA in 131 position. Other notable countries Uganda has beaten on this index include Turkey , Brazil and India .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iceland has maintained the title of the most peaceful country since the first the Global Peace Index launched 13 years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 GPI indicates\u00a0Iceland<\/a>,\u00a0Denmark<\/a>,\u00a0Ireland<\/a>,\u00a0New Zealand<\/a>, and\u00a0Austria<\/a>\u00a0to be the most peaceful countries, and\u00a0Afghanistan<\/a>,\u00a0Yemen<\/a>,\u00a0Syria<\/a>,\u00a0South Sudan<\/a>, and\u00a0Democratic Republic of the Congo<\/a>\u00a0to be the least peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key findings of the 2023 GPI include a less peaceful world over the last 15 years, a 5 per cent deterioration in the global level of peace over the last 15 years and a growing inequality in peace between the most and least peaceful countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Peace Index (GPI) is a report produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace<\/a> (IEP) which measures the relative position of nations’ and regions’ peacefulness<\/a>.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The GPI ranks 163 independent states and territories (collectively accounting for 99.7 per cent of the world’s population) according to their levels of peacefulness. In the past decade, the GPI has presented trends of increased global violence and less peacefulness.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GPI is developed in consultation with an international panel of peace experts from peace institutes and think tanks<\/a> with data collected and collated by the Economist Intelligence Unit<\/a>. The Index was first launched in May 2009, with subsequent reports being released annually. In 2015 it ranked 165 countries, up from 121 in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study was conceived by Australian technology entrepreneur\u00a0Steve Killelea<\/a>, and is endorsed by individuals such as former UN Secretary-General the late \u00a0Kofi Annan<\/a>,\u00a0the Dalai Lama<\/a>, the late archbishop\u00a0Desmond Tutu<\/a>, former President of Finland and 2008 Nobel Peace Prize laureate\u00a0Martti Ahtisaari<\/a>, Nobel laureate\u00a0Muhammad Yunus<\/a>, economist\u00a0Jeffrey Sachs<\/a>, former president of Ireland\u00a0Mary Robinson<\/a>, former Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations\u00a0Jan Eliasson<\/a>\u00a0and former United States president\u00a0Jimmy Carter<\/a>. The updated index is released each year at events in London, Washington, DC, and at the United Nations Secretariat in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
