Risk ratings watch

Factors include: (1) frequency and seriousness of the country's violent crime problem and/or, (2) the degree of political, economic and societal unrest (e.g. demonstrations and strikes that disrupt or paralyze important segments of the society turn violent or otherwise significantly impact an area of the country) and/or, (3) the stability of the government in the face of such problems (e.g. its ability to deal effectively with the problems and retain its governing authority) and/or, (4) the potential for internal or regional conflicts or war breaking out in the country and/or, (5) the capabilities and intentions of indigenous and transnational terrorists, guerrilla groups or other dangerous persons to engage in violence and their history for doing so.

Any one or a combination of these factors might result in changes to a country's risk level. Conditions that would qualify for a moderate, high, or extreme risk rating in any region or area of the country frequented by foreigners generally result in the whole country being rated at that level.

Sources used to develop ratings include government travel advisories and other advices to their citizens, ongoing monitoring and analysis of open-source materials and ongoing contacts with authoritative personnel both within and outside the affected countries.
