Global Terrorism Index : IEP

News: The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) released its tenth Global Terrorism Index (GTI) report, which details global terrorism trends and patterns.

IEP: Sydney, Australia-based Institute for Economics and Peace, founded in 2008.

A worldwide think tank, that is.

It investigates the connections between peace, commerce, and prosperity and works to advance knowledge of the social, political, and cultural forces that contribute to peace.

Important conclusions:

Despite a decrease in bloodshed, Afghanistan continues to be the nation most affected by terrorism for the fourth year in a row.

The Taliban’s state repression was not included in the report.

The region with the lowest average GTI score continues to be South Asia.

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), Islamic State (IS), Al-Shabaab, and Jamaat Nusrat Al-Islam wal Muslimeen will be the four deadliest terrorist organisations in the world in 2022.

Climatic change aids in the funding, recruitment, and propaganda of terrorist organisations.

Pakistan placed sixth, while India stayed in 13th place (more terror-prone)
