The World Justice Project (WJP) has recently issued its annual report for 2012, the
WJP Rule of Law Index® 2012.
The WJP Rule of Law Index is an innovative quantitative assessment tool designed by the World Justice Project offering a detailed and comprehensive picture of the extent to which countries adhere to the rule of law in practice. It provides original data regarding a variety of dimensions of the rule of law, enabling the assessment of a nation’s adherence to the rule of law in practice, identify a nation’s strengths and weaknesses in comparison to similarly situated countries, and track changes over time.
The results show that Sweden, contrary to the claims made by suspected rapist
Julian Assange and his cohorts and supporters (
the Assangeistas), actually is a country that ranks among the highest in the world (often among the Top 3 and always among the Top 10) in all factors and subfactors that are indexed in the report. You can download the full report for 2012
here and there is a cool interactive map
here.
