As we enter a new decade, troubling developments around the rule of law continue to raise concerns for the future of fair and functioning societies. Since 2009, the World Justice Project (WJP) has documented these trends in its annual WJP Rule of Law Index, now covering 128 countries and jurisdictions in the new 2020 edition. Based on more than 130,000 household surveys and 4,000 legal practitioner and expert surveys worldwide, the 2020 Index provides citizens, governments, donors, businesses, and civil society organizations around the world with a comprehensive comparative analysis of countries' adherence to universal rule of law principles.

Join USIP and the World Justice Project as we delve into the findings from the WJP Rule of Law Index 2020. WJP's chief research officer will review important insights and data trends from the report following keynote remarks from Sanjay Pradhan, chief executive officer of the Open Government Partnership. This will be followed by a panel discussion on the underlying factors behind the results, as well as the policy implications for those invested in strengthening the rule of law.
