The 2024 Rule of Law Index by the World Justice Project reveals an ongoing decline in global justice standards, with an increasing number of countries showing erosion in fundamental rights, transparency, and legal accountability. The report draws from over 140 countries, reflecting the impacts of economic challenges and governance issues on judicial integrity and human rights. 

These findings underscore the critical need for global reforms to address corruption and promote fair governance, as well as highlight the vulnerability of judicial institutions worldwide.
