Vision of Humanity

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 14:47:03 +0100

VisionOfHumanity is an organization dedicated to improving peace in the world.

One of the most Interesting things VisionOfHumanity does is to come up with a Global Peace Ranking Index each year that tells visitors how peaceful each country is...

A lower score means that the country is more peaceful.

The scores are based on factors like...
- internal and external conflicts;
- number of deaths due to organized conflicts;
- relations with neighbouring countries;
- perceived criminality;
- political instability;
- murders; and
- displaced persons.

The website also has a huge collection of information and multimedia related to several peace projects going on in the world.
