The report is the product of interviewing 97,000 members of the general public and more than 2,500 experts in 97 countries. The report’s findings were unveiled on November 28th, 2012 at a special presentation in Washington, D.C. Remarks were provided by panelists Adama Dieng, Karan Bhatia, Joy Olson, and Guest Speaker, Cherie Blair QC. A video of the presentation can be viewed here. The Index and its findings have stimulated discussions and actions on the rule of law in countries around the world, and has been cited by heads of state and chief justices as supporting evidence of the need to advance rule of law reforms in their countries.
