This report examines all United Nations member states and assigns each a score from 0 to 100 for their observance of human rights, democracy, peace, and civility. A score of 0 indicates the worst performance, while a score of 100 indicates the best relative to other countries.
The human rights score assesses how well a nation respects the fundamental rights to which all people are entitled, free from government interference. The democracy score evaluates the extent to which a government derives its authority from the consent of its citizens and respects minority rights. The peace score reflects a nation’s ability to coexist peacefully with other nations. Finally, the civility score reflects a nation’s overall behavior.
This report aims to provide citizens with a comprehensive understanding of their government’s actions and the level of civility relative to other nations worldwide. Highlighting areas for improvement encourages governments to prioritize specific reform policies to enhance their reputation and standing on the international stage.
Furthermore, this report serves two main purposes. First, it is a valuable tool for assessing the domestic and international behavior of various countries, offering a clearer understanding of global interactions. Second, it helps both public- and private-sector organizations evaluate the potential risks of conducting business in different geopolitical environments, ultimately promoting informed decision-making.
