The rule of law recession continues. Poland is breaking away from the global trend

The WJP Rule of Law Index reveals a concerning global decline in the rule of law, with 62% of countries experiencing decreased scores. However, Poland shows improvement, ranking 32nd globally and leading in democratic renewal with a 4.22% increase over three years. Despite global trends of diminishing civil liberties, Poland maintains its judicial independence and has improved access to justice.
