For the fifth year in a row, the rule of law has declined globally, according to the\u00a0<\/strong>2022 World Justice Project (WJP) Rule of Law Index\u00ae<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, released today.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The World Justice Project\u2019s original data in 140 countries and jurisdictions shows that adherence to the rule of law fell in 61% of countries this year\u2014including Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n

Globally, 4.4 billion people live in countries where rule of law has declined over the past year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are emerging from the pandemic, but the global rule of law recession continues<\/strong>,\u201d said Elizabeth Andersen, executive director of the\u00a0World Justice Project<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(WJP). \u201cAt its heart, rule of law is about fairness\u2013that is, accountability, equal rights, and justice for all. And a less fair world is bound to be a more volatile one.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Index data shows that authoritarian trends that predate the pandemic\u2014such as weaker checks on executive power and increased attacks on the media\u2014continue to erode the rule of law globally.<\/p>\n

However, declines are less widespread and extreme than last year, when Covid shutdowns dramatically disrupted justice systems, and governments exercised emergency powers that curtailed civic freedoms and bypassed transparency mechanisms.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Rule of law in Antigua and Barbuda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s overall rule of law score decreased by less than 1% in this year\u2019s Index. It ranks 40th out of 140 countries worldwide, falling one position since last year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Regionally, Antigua and Barbuda ranks 6th out of 32 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.* The region\u2019s top performer is Uruguay (ranked 25th out of 140 globally), followed by Costa Rica and Chile. The three countries with the lowest scores in the region are Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela (140th globally).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In the last year, 21 out of 32 countries declined in Latin America and the Caribbean. Of those 21 countries, 16 had also declined in the previous year.<\/p>\n

Among high income countries, Antigua and Barbuda ranks 38th out of 43.**<\/p>\n

Global rankings and trends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Globally, the top-ranked country in the\u00a0WJP Rule of Law Index 2022<\/em>\u00a0is Denmark, followed by Norway, Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands. The country with the lowest score is Venezuela, then Cambodia, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Haiti.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0WJP Rule of Law Index<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is the world\u2019s leading source of independent rule of law data. It draws on in-depth surveys with more than 154,000 everyday people and 3,600 legal practitioners and experts to measure rule of law across eight factors: Constraints on Government Powers, Absence of Corruption, Open Government, Fundamental Rights, Order and Security, Regulatory Enforcement, Civil Justice, and Criminal Justice. Factor scores are averaged to assign an overall rule of law score to each country.<\/p>\n

Some of the biggest global declines this year were in the Index factors associated with rising authoritarianism and the longer-term erosion of rule of law. This year, respect for fundamental rights declined in two-thirds of countries. Checks on government powers\u2014such as oversight by the judiciary, legislature, and media\u2014fell in 58% of countries this year.<\/p>\n

The other top factor driving this year\u2019s global declines is Civil Justice, largely due to continued pandemic-related delays, weakened enforcement, and rising discrimination in civil justice systems.\u00a0Scores for this factor fell in 61% of countries this year.<\/p>\n

Now covering 140 countries and jurisdictions, the Index relies on more than 154,000 household surveys and 3,600 legal practitioner and expert surveys to measure how the rule of law is experienced and perceived worldwide. The Index provides current and reliable information to policy makers, civil society organizations, academics, citizens, and legal professionals, among others, and is intended to encourage policy reforms, guide program development, and inform research to strengthen the rule of law.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE WORLD JUSTICE PROJECT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The World Justice Project (WJP) is an independent, multidisciplinary organization working to create knowledge, build awareness, and stimulate action to advance the rule of law worldwide. Effective rule of law reduces corruption, combats poverty and disease, and protects people from injustices large and small. It underpins development, accountable government, and respect for fundamental rights, and it is the foundation for communities of justice, opportunity, and peace.<\/p>\n

The World Justice Project defines the rule of law as a durable system of laws, institutions, norms, and community commitment that delivers: accountability, just laws, open government, and accessible justice.
