Duration
12 months
Description
The Atlas of Impunity provides high-quality, credible, and transparent quantitative scores that allow activists, journalists, businesspeople, and ordinary citizens to track the degree of impunity experienced by the people of their country and its global peers. The Atlas also helps readers pinpoint which sites within society (e.g., conflict and violence, unaccountable governance, environmental degradation) are the greatest drivers of impunity. Finally, the Atlas’s qualitative analysis provides further context by highlighting global trends, hypothesizing drivers and causes of impunity, and identifying policies that may be most effective in fighting it. With global coordination in short supply and roughly 60 state-based conflicts ongoing—the most at any time since the end of World War II—human rights abuses are becoming more frequent, as the rule of law is weakening in a number of countries.

Description
Founded in 1998, Eurasia Group Ltd. is a privately held, for-profit political risk research and consulting firm headquartered in the US. Its Atlas of Impunity, launched in 2022, is a quantitative assessment of impunity which, in its starkest form, is the exercise of power without accountability measured by independent indicators across five sites in society. These dimensions include unaccountable governance, human rights abuse, conflict and violence, economic exploitation, and environmental degradation. The Atlas scores and ranks the level of impunity in 163 countries and provides partial, indicative scoring for another 34.The project aims to deepen the understanding of impunity, stimulate debate, and promote strategies to combat abuses of power globally. A Corporation grant will support the completion of the third edition of the Atlas of Impunity.
