About This Statistic
Countries with National Human Rights Institutions in compliance with the Paris Principles (0 = No status; 1 = Status B, partially compliant; 2 = Status A, fully compliant).

Aggregates, missing/non-finite values, other dimensions, other attributes, and non-ISO geographies are excluded; MapTheory does not impute missing countries.
