​The World Justice Project released the Rule of Law Index 2026 today (October 21). Hong Kong's overall ranking remains high and unchanged, ranking 6th in East Asia and the Pacific, and 24th out of 143 countries and jurisdictions globally. Hong Kong's scores in most of the aspects are similar to those of last year, and its overall ranking continues to be ahead of some western countries which often unreasonably criticise the rule of law and human rights situation of Hong Kong.
