Global Peace Index

An Australia-based think tank reports that the average level of global peacefulness has deteriorated once again, with 56 active conflicts raging around the world — the most since the end of World War I, and with fewer conflicts being resolved. Host Marco Werman speaks with Steve Killelea, founder and executive chairman of the Institute of Economics & Peace, publisher of the Global Peace Index 2024.
