According to the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2022, Qatar has earned a new global distinction in terms of security. Out of 163 countries, Qatar was placed #1 in the Middle East & North Africa area and 23rd overall
Low crime rates and a strong level of security have earned the country a place among the world's top ten safest countries.
The newly issued Global Peace Index (GPI) 2022 indicated that Qatar has topped the most peaceful country index in the Arab area for the fourth time in a row.
The Gulf nation's adequate level of militarization, minimal domestic and international conflict, and excellent social safety and security have landed it in the 23rd slot, six places up from the previous year, with a high overall score of 1.530.
The country has been ranked 23, 29, 27, and 31 during the last four years.
The most peaceful country in the region
In the Safest and Most Societal Peaceful Countries category, Qatar was ranked first in the Arab world and ninth worldwide in the index, going six ranks up from 2021 and joining the world's top ten safest nations ahead of New Zealand, Ireland, Sweden, and Austria.
