The ACLED Conflict Index is a global assessment of how and where conflicts in every country and territory in the world vary according to four indicators — deadliness, danger to civilians, geographic diffusion, and the number of armed groups.

Palestine, Mexico, and Ukraine are the most dangerous places in the world
- Palestine also has the most geographically diffuse conflict, meaning ACLED records high levels of violence in nearly 70% of Gaza and the West Bank.
- Myanmar is the most fragmented conflict in the world, with over 1,200 distinct armed groups reported to have been involved in at least one violent event.
- Pakistan became more dangerous for civilians in the past 12 months and deaths from political violence increased, driven by growing regional insurgencies and a short-lived but intense escalation in fighting with India.
- Haiti became more deadly and dangerous to civilians: Over 4,500 Haitians were killed as a result of political violence, while targeted violence against civilians also increased.
- Ecuador became more deadly, with over 1,000 more people killed as a result of political violence than in 2024.
