The
Jordan Strategy Forum issued a report
on Tuesday titled “Where does Jordan stand on the 2022 Rule of Law Index?”
aiming to explain Jordan’s position on the index and present recommendations
for improving its performance, Ammon News reported.
Index factorsThe index uses eight factors to evaluate a
country’s rule of law performance: constraints on
government powers, absence of
corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory
enforcement,
civil justice, and criminal justice.
Jordan's best performance was with the
factor of order and security, while its weakest performance was open
government.
Regional focusThe forum indicated that although Jordan
achieved a positive performance when compared with the Arab countries on the
index, its performance has declined by 19 points since it was first evaluated
in 2018.
Out of the seven
Arab countries measured by the index, the UAE had the highest ranking, coming in 37th out of
140 global countries.
World rankingOn a global level, Denmark was the best
performing country, while Venezuela came in last.
The rule of law index evaluates the
performance of 140 countries with a score from 0 to 1 based on the results of a
survey that includes 154,000 families and 3,600 practitioners and legal experts
in the countries included in the index.
