rule of law index

The Rule of Law Index is a measurement that evaluates how well countries uphold the rule of law, which means ensuring laws are applied fairly and consistently. It assesses factors like justice systems, corruption levels, government accountability, and individual rights. A higher index score indicates better legal protections and government transparency, while a lower score suggests issues like unequal access to justice or corruption. This index helps compare governance and legal standards globally, offering insights into how well citizens can rely on their legal systems for fairness and security.
