The Rule of Law Index

The Rule of Law Index measures how well a country's laws are upheld and applied fairly. It assesses factors like how effectively laws are enforced, whether government officials adhere to legal standards, and if citizens have access to justice. A high score indicates a society where laws are transparent, fairly enforced, and protect people's rights, fostering stability and trust. Conversely, a low score suggests issues like corruption, unfair treatment, or weak legal institutions. The index helps compare countries on the strength and fairness of their legal systems, promoting better governance and accountability worldwide.
