According to 'Global Peace Index, 2021', which of the following is the most peaceful region in the world ?
Explanation
According to the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2021, published by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), Europe was ranked as the most peaceful region in the world. Europe has consistently held this position since the inception of the index in 2007. In the 2021 report, Europe was home to 8 of the 10 most peaceful countries, including Iceland, which maintained its status as the most peaceful country globally.
While Europe experienced a slight decline in its overall score due to factors like political instability and civil unrest, it remained significantly more peaceful than other regions. In contrast, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region was ranked as the least peaceful region. Other regions such as South America and Africa ranked lower due to internal conflicts and higher rates of violent crime.
