It is worth noting that the three most peaceful countries in the world for the third year in a row are Iceland, Ireland and Austria, while the United States ranks 132nd, losing two places compared to 2023, then that France ranks 86th in the world.
Within the Arab world, Morocco stands out by positioning itself 6th, behind Kuwait (25th in the world), Qatar (29th) and Oman (37th). The United Arab Emirates, for their part, moved up 31 places to rank 53rd.
