New Zealand has been named the second most peaceful nation in the world.
The 2011 Global Peace Index has been released, including a list of the world's most peaceful countries.
While New Zealand topped the list in 2010 and 2009, it has been overtaken by Iceland in the latest list, with Japan in third place.
India is placed 135th, and Pakistan 146th. Somalia was the last placed in the survey of 153 countries.
