The 2024 Rule of Law Index released by the World Justice Project reveals a modest improvement in Pakistan’s legal environment compared to 2023.

Despite these gains, Pakistan faces significant challenges in key areas, including civil and criminal justice, fundamental rights, governance, corruption, regulatory enforcement, and maintaining order and security.

This year’s index places Pakistan at 129th out of 142 countries globally, slightly improved from its 130th position last year. The data reflect minor progress in the nation’s legal framework, which saw initial improvements from 2015 to 2018, followed by a decline from 2019 to 2023. The year 2024 marks a slight recovery after five years of deteriorating performance.

The Rule of Law Index evaluates nations based on several critical factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, transparency in governance, the protection of fundamental rights, order and security, enforcement of regulations, civil justice, and criminal justice.
