WJP's global glance at Rule of Law Practice around the world ranks The Gambia 9th in Sub-saharan Africa
Gambia ranked 9th most adherent to rule of law in Sub-Saharan Africa
Gambia is ranked 85th out of 142 countries in adherence to rule of law, according to the latest global Rule of Law Index released by the World Justice Project (WJP).
The 2023 index released on Wednesday in Washington DC, United States, also showed that out of the 34 countries ranked in the sub-Saharan region, The Gambia is rated 9th.
The report noted that Gambia’s score increased by 3 points.
It added that rule of law has once again eroded in a majority of countries this year.
“This is the sixth consecutive Index marking global declines in the rule of law. This year alone, the rule of law declined in 59 per cent of countries surveyed. However, Gambia is among the minority of countries to see its Rule of Law Index score increase this year,” the report stated.
Globally, the top-ranked country in the 2023 WJP Rule of Law Index is Denmark, followed by Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Germany.
