Kuwait Ranked 52nd In The Global Rule Of Law Index

In collaboration with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) has included Kuwait for the first time in the World Justice Project's WJP Rule of Law Index for 2023, ranking 52nd out of 142 countries.

Kuwait scored 0.58 out of 1.00, with a score ranging from 0 to 1, where 1 signifies the strongest commitment to the rule of law.

In addition to supporting efforts to identify and prevent corruption, Nazaha also aims to assess aspects included in the index that have never been assessed in Kuwait before.

In terms of original and independent data on rule of law, this index stands as the world's most trusted source. It encompasses 142 countries and relies on more than 149,000 household surveys and 3,400 surveys conducted among legal practitioners and experts. Its aim is to gauge and compare the perception and experience of the rule of law at the national level.

In addition, the index provides up-to-date and reliable information for policymakers, civil society organizations, academics, citizens, and legal professionals. Its ultimate goal is to promote policy reforms, guide program development, and support research aimed at reinforcing the rule of law.

A total of eight primary factors are included in the index, each of which is divided into 44 subfactors. As part of these primary factors are "limitations on government authority," "absence of corruption," "transparent governance," "fundamental rights," "public order and security," "regulatory enforcement," and "civil and criminal justice."
