The Washington-based World Justice Project (WJP) has released its 2012 Rule of Law Index, which finds Pakistan the seventh most corrupt and the top-most insecure nation out of a total of 97 countries assessed.
The country also presents a dismal picture in the categories of human rights, civil and criminal justice, regulatory enforcement, check on government powers, regulatory enforcement and openness of the government.
The report says the comparison of the index shows Pakistan scoring strongly on judicial independence and fairness in administrative proceedings. According to the 241-page report, Pakistan shows weaknesses in most dimensions when compared to its regional and income group peers.
Low level of government accountability is compounded by the prevalence of corruption, a weak justice system, and a poor security situation, particularly related to terrorism and crime. The country scores more strongly on judicial independence and fairness in administrative proceedings.
According to the report, the global ratings of 97 countries, including Pakistan, is assessed in eight factors, including limited government powers, absence of corruption, order and security, fundamental rights, open government, regularity enforcement, civil justice and criminal justice, which all contribute towards rule of law.
In the case of Pakistan, all out corruption is 90th. It is 97th (the last) in the category of order and security, 93rd in the field of human rights, 92nd in areas of open government, 91st in civil justice, 88th in regulatory enforcement, 80th in criminal justice and 69th out of 97 countries in limited government powers.
The report is a product of five years of intensive development, testing, and vetting – including interviewing 97,000 members of the general public and more than 2,500 experts in the 97 countries.
With just a little more effort, Pakistan can be first 🙂

Dear All,
This report that declare Pakistan as the seventh most corrupt nation is very sad for the Government and the peoples Pakistan. We can't kept on blaming others for false reports.
Pakistan People Party can only survive as a national party if they immediately change the top leadership. Pakistan people have no faith in honour President Asif Ali Zardari as he is considered the most corrupt person on earth by entire Pakistan nation.
Honourable President Asif Ali Zardari alone have done the most damage to Pakistan Peoples Party than anyone?
I suggest there should be a report to confirm the most corrupt
Prime Minister, President, Foreign Minister, Interior Minister and so on.

I think most corrupt people elect corrupt leaders, do not blame the leadership, at least they are well fed and their children well educated.
Corrupt public bribe honest and decent government officials. You only have to see that they do not want to follow the law and then they blame our beloved leaders for corruption. wake up and be above board and do not vote for corrupt individuals.
They must have bribed to lower the ranking otherwise, I am sure that Pakistan is at #1 position having most corrupt public officials, politicians, bureaucrat and armed forces included. From President to Naib Qasid and COJS/COAS to patwari everyone is corrupt.
