World Justice Project releases Rule of Law Index 2025
What Happened
The World Justice Project released its 2025 Rule of Law Index covering 143 countries. The report found a global decline in the rule of law for the eighth consecutive year, with 68 percent of nations showing deterioration. Denmark topped the rankings while the report flagged rising authoritarianism and weakening judicial independence worldwide.
Why It Matters
For India, the index serves as a critical benchmark for monitoring judicial efficiency, protection of fundamental rights, and the overall ease of doing business relative to global peers.
