• The Global Peace Index (GPI) is an annual report published by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), which measures the relative peacefulness of countries and regions based on various factors like levels of violence, conflict, incarceration rates, and access to weapons.
• As per the 2024 Global Peace Index, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region continues to be the least peaceful region in the world. This region has been affected by ongoing conflicts, political instability, and other security challenges, which have contributed to its low ranking in terms of peace.
• The MENA region includes countries such as Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, which have been severely impacted by wars and internal conflicts, further exacerbating the region's lack of stability and peace.
