Report Thailand Drops to 86th in 2025 Global Peace Index
File photo for reference only Thailand has slipped to 86th place in the 2025 Global Peace Index (GPI), marking a fall of five spots compared to last year. The annual report, issued by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), reviews 163 countries and territories, covering almost the entire global population. This year's GPI reveals a continued global decline in peace, the sixth year running that peace levels have deteriorated. Since its inception, peace levels have fallen in 13 of the past 17 years. The GPI evaluates more than the mere absence of conflict. It is intertwined with societal sustainability, including the management of natural resources, educational access, and living stability. Meanwhile, a country's level of peace correlates with its ability to implement effective environmental and social policies. Assessment Approach The GPI remains the foremost comprehensive peace measurement, utilising 23 indicators across three domains: societal safety and security, ongoing conflicts, and militarisation. Scores are lower for more peaceful nations, with higher scores highlighting conflicts and instability. Leading and Lagging Nations Iceland retains its title as the world's most peaceful nation for the 17th consecutive year, followed closely by Ireland and New Zealand. Conversely, Russia now ranks as the least peaceful country globally, followed by Ukraine and Sudan. Within ASEAN, Singapore leads the rankings, maintaining its 6th global position, while Malaysia dropped a spot to 13th. Thailand ranks 6th among ASEAN members, sliding to 86th overall, reflecting challenges in security conditions and economic pressures. Regional Dynamics Western and Central Europe continues to be the most peaceful region, though experiencing some peace level declines. The Middle East and North Africa remain the least peaceful, with South Asia following close behind due to political issues and unrest. Interestingly, South America is the only region showing an improvement, with Peru and Argentina leading progress efforts. Implications for Thailand Thailand's drop in the GPI underscores pressing issues that need addressing to enhance peace and stability. This decline calls for intensified focus on internal security and sustainable development. Understanding these dynamics is essential as Thailand navigates future policies aimed at boosting societal peace and fostering long-term sustainable development. This serves not only national interests but also regional stability in ASEAN. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-07-14 -
