In praise of democracies where the rule of law reigns

Approximately half the countries in the world are democracies.

Over two thirds of the world’s population live under some form of autocracy.

1.05 billion people live in liberal democracies, 1.25bn in electoral democracies, 2.5bn in electoral autocracies and 2.05 in closed autocracies.

The war in Ukraine reminds us all what it means to live in an open and free democratic society, where we are all equal before the law.
