East Asia scores well when it comes to keeping a lid on crime, but is still has work to do on other key factors that constitute the rule of law, a study published Wednesday suggests. The non-profit World Justice Project's third annual Rule of Law Index takes stock of the development of the core legal concept in 97 countries and jurisdictions, based on interviews with 97,000 citizens and 2,500 experts. Fundamental rights were a concern in Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore, while Thailand lagged in terms of civil justice due to delays in processing cases and difficulties in enforcing court rulings.
