Has anybody heard of a rating system devised by some organisation which rates the safety of a country?

Question

All Iknow about it is that Switzerland and Rwanda have a rating of 1 which is the best.

Answer 1

I don´t think so. Your view is wrong. See this:

Rwanda

There is a high risk to your security in Rwanda. We advise against tourist and other non-essential travel to the border areas with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi as there is a possibility of attacks by rebels operating from outside the country*

Answer 2

If Rwanda has a rating of 1, which is the same as Switzerland, and the best, then I guess it does not apply to Gorillas. They are keepers of the very last of the species in the wild, yet they are failing. However, if you are a human, then it's equal first safest place in the world. But we have 6 billion humans, but very few Gorillas.

I'm not a great campaigner for animal rights and stuff like that, but I just think that if it is the safest country in the world for people surely they can do something for the few gorillas left in the wild?

Answer 3

It is wrong then isn't it.

Answer 4

Never heard of this before.

Answer 5

Both the UK's FCO and the US's CIA have ratings and advice which is freely available on the internet.
