The rule of law has eroded in a majority of countries for the seventh year in a row and last year, it has declined in 57% of countries surveyed – including Guyana.
This is the finding of theWorld Justice Project (WJP) according to its Rule of Law Index 2024. In a release yesterday, WJP noted that Guyana’s overall rule-of-law score decreased by less than 1% in this year’s Index and it currently ranks 77th out of 142 countries worldwide.
The World Justice Project (WJP) is an independent, nonpartisan, multidisciplinary organisation working to create knowledge, build awareness, and stimulate action to advance the rule of law worldwide. Its Rule of Law Index is the world’s leading source for original, independent data on the rule of law.
