The 30 most dangerous countries in the world in 2024

The world is a dangerous place to live in, especially when one considers that there are 195 countries with their own governments and their own agendas. Every year, a global think tank in Australia–called the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP)–releases a report known as the Global Peace Index. The report measures how peaceful each country in the world is by analyzing many factors, including a country’s rate of violent crime and the number of wars fought. After analyzing these statistics, each country is given a GPI score; and the lower the score, the better. We’ve curated a list of the most dangerous countries mentioned in the report, and you might be surprised with the results. Intrigued? Click through the gallery to see what those countries are.
