Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ On February 28, the World Justice Project (WJP) released the WJP Rule of Law Index 2019, an evaluation of rule of law adherence worldwide based on more than 120,000 household and 3,800 expert surveys in 126 countries. Featuring current, original data, the WJP Rule of Law Index measures countries’ rule of law performance across eight factors: Constraints on Government Powers, Absence of Corruption, Open Government, Fundamental Rights, Order and Security, Regulatory Enforcement, Civil Justice, and Criminal Justice.
At 53rd place out of 126
countries worldwide, Mongolia improved one position for overall rule of law
performance in the WJP Rule of Law Index 2019 edition. (Note that this change
in ranking was calculated by comparing the positions of the 113 countries
measured in the 2017-2018 edition of the Index with the rankings of the same
113 countries in 2019, exclusive of 13 new countries indexed in 2019).
Mongolia’s score places
it at 8 out of 15 countries in the East Asia and Pacific region and 3 out of
30 among lower middle income countries.
The top three overall
performers in the WJP Rule of Law Index 2019 were Denmark (1), Norway (2), and
Finland (3); the bottom three were the Democratic Republic of the Congo (124),
Cambodia (125), and Venezuela (126).
