The words peace has gone away from this
World leaving only the dangers and according to a recent survey only 10
countries are there with complete peace. The authors of 10th Annual
Global Peace Index reveal this fact and the World in 2016 stands at an
endangered position as compared to 2015. In the Middle East, there is strong
crisis for shelter of refugees and due to terrorist attacks more number of
deaths are being reported from there.
Institute For Economics and Peace
prepared a list of 10 countries where there is no conflict. Such 10 countries
include the names such as:
·
Chile
·
Costa Rica
·
Japan
·
Qatar
·
Uruguay
·
Vietnam
·
Botswana
·
Panama
·
Mauritius
·
Switzerland
These countries are able to maintain the
peace even in 2016 and people here are leading a better standard of living
without any worries.
As per the statement by Steve Killelea, founder of IEP given
for The Independent Brazil has came out of the list due to high concerns that
came out after the RIO Olympics. But apart from this, the most dreadful
situation is in the Middle East where the terrorists don’t think twice before
taking away a life. It stops the rest of the World and climbs the highest level
of malice.
IEP
noticed the fact that the 10 peaceful countries improved a lot in 2016 while
the other countries with fears got even more worse reporting fearful incidents
along with number of deaths. Mr Killelea even said that the conflicts in Iraq
and Afghanistan are continuing for decades and no one is able to find any
solution to stop these conflicts. This is also affecting the political status
of the countries and thus people are losing faith on the Government taking the
responsibility in real time.
Some
interesting facts come out as Iceland today is recognized as the most peaceful
country getting further improvements followed by Austria, Portugal, Denmark and
New Zealand. On the other hand, Syria is the country with no peace at all and
thus no improvements happening there that’s the most concerning issue.
Overall, according to IEP World has
become less peaceful in 2016 as compared to past 8 years and this year there
are highest number of deaths reported till now all over the World. Mr Killelea
even revealed “It’s not just Iceland, it’s a whole range of countries which we
can learn from. They are practising what we call positive peace, which are
factors which create and sustain peaceful societies.”
IEP puts cores based on certain
factors such as:
·
Acceptance
range of the rights for others
·
Free
flow of data
·
A
Government functioning well
·
Low
competition levels
Overall, these are the parts on
which IEP focuses declaring the countries with more or less peace. “If positive
peace is strong enough, then a country which is presented with shocks won’t
actually have a deterioration in peace.” Mr Killelea
Finally, the entire facts once again
divulge that Europe is the most peaceful region of the World with people
getting a better way of life.
