The Fundamental Rights are the backbone of democratic societies. To ensure the success of democracy, it is imperative for governments to protect fundamental human rights. Some universally recognized rights which are considered fundamental are the right to self-determination, right to freedom of movement, right to freedom of thought, right to peaceful assembly and others. Some nations provide emphasis on fundamental rights of the people, while for other nations fundamental are not be that strong.

The World Justice Project regularly releases the Rule of the Law Index. The index measures how nations adhere to the rule of law. Some outcomes that are taken into consideration are how effectively is crime controlled and do people have access to courts. The Rule of Law Index is based on several indicators, and one of these is fundamental rights. Nations are ranked between 0 and 1. Countries with high scores have the strongest fundamental rights.
