Supplementary notes

Zero indicates the best condition of human rights and rule of law; ten the worst.

The source adds the following information: "The Human rights and rule of law indicator considers the relationship between the state and its population insofar as fundamental human rights are protected and freedoms are observed and respected. The higher the indicator's value, the less protected are the human rights and the rule of law in the country."
