Global Judicial Independence Index

The tool will assess the current compliance of the judiciary with the principles and minimum standards for judicial conduct, exposing those areas where the lack of compliance can affect the up-hold of individual rights and the sanctioning of corruption.

The areas where core vulnerabilities can negatively affect the functioning of the judiciary will be scored to determine in which of the clusters a judicial system can be included in:

Cluster I: No rule of law

Low political will and high performance

Cluster II: Adopted but not enforced rule of law standards

Medium political will and interference

Cluster III: Good enforcement of rule of law standards

High political will and low interference
