Rwanda has, for the third year in a row, ranked best in the region in a rule of law index published by World Justice Project WJP, an organisation that evaluates the adherence to rule of law principles in countries around the world.

The assessment, whose results were released on Wednesday, October 25, is based on a comprehensive set of factors, including government accountability, civil and criminal justice, fundamental rights, and more.

This year, 59 per cent of the surveyed countries witnessed a reduction in their rule of law status, marking a continuous slide in the global adherence to this fundamental principle.However, the report shows that Rwanda registered an increase in its score, an accomplishment that places the nation in the top tier of countries experiencing an upward trend in the rule of law.

The Index points out that declines in the functioning of justice systems are expanding. In Rwanda and globally, Index scores for Civil Justice fell in two-thirds of the countries this year, up from 61 per cent last year. This decline can be attributed to increased justice delays and weaker enforcement. Furthermore, scores for Criminal Justice also saw a slight decrease in more countries this year than last year .
