Peace is holding strong in some countries. 🌍 The Global Peace Index looks at 163 countries through safety, conflict, and militarisation. The wider picture is sobering: global peacefulness has edged down again, with conflict weighing heavily on the score. Yet the countries moving in the right direction are worth watching. Progress usually comes from unglamorous work: safer streets, steadier institutions, lower fear in daily life, and fewer incentives to escalate. The contrast is the story. Peace can decline globally while still being built locally, one policy choice and one social habit at a time. #GlobalAffairs #WorldNews #GlobalPeaceIndex #Peacebuilding #Iceland
