The Institute for Economics and Peace has compiled a ranking of the safest countries in the world.

This is stated on the visionofhumanity.org.

The ranking takes into account statistics such as the number of murders and the number of prisoners, terrorism, military power and international conflicts.

While 126 countries improved their positive worlds from 2009 to 2020, the 2023 Global Peacefulness Index (GPI) shows that the average level of global peacefulness has deteriorated for the ninth year in a row, with 84 countries recording improvements and 79 seeing deterioration.

Top 20 Safe Countries:

Finland, according to the organization, deserves special mention as one of the best, happiest, and safest places to visit this year. Low crime and violence rates, as well as low mortality rates and reduced risk of natural disasters, have allowed the Scandinavian country to be considered a top destination to visit.

Finland has been named a joyful country for the sixth year in a row in a separate annual World Happiness Report. This report looked at issues such as GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption.
