SUMMARY:Democracy Health Check: Presenting the Tyranny Tracker
DESCRIPTION:The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) is presenting its recently launched Tyranny Tracker in The Hague\, Netherlands. \nDeveloped by HRF with support from The Reynolds Foundation\, the Tyranny Tracker is an index that classifies political regimes using a unique methodology that evaluates indicators across three key pillars: electoral competition\, freedom of dissent\, and institutional accountability. The index classifies the world’s countries and territories as democratic\, hybrid authoritarian\, or fully authoritarian\, providing a unique view of democracy globally. \nThis event will explore the Tyranny Tracker and feature a keynote address from Swazi Activist and Widow of Thulani Maseko\, Tanele Maseko. The full agenda is available below: \nOpening remarks: Stephanie Triefus (Asser Institute)\nKeynote: Tanele Maseko (Swazi Activist and Widow of Thulani Maseko)\nPresentation of the Tyranny Tracker: Javier El-Hage (HRF Chief Legal and Policy Officer)\nPanel Discussion:\nMohamed Keita (HRF Senior Policy Officer for Africa);\nZara Rancheva (HRF Research Fellow for Europe and Central Asia);\nAlan Haji (Legal Director at the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre);\nMalaak Jamal (Director of Policy and Research)[Moderator] Stephanie Triefus (Asser Institute);\nMore about the Tyranny Tracker\nThe Human Rights Foundation (HRF) launched its flagship research project\, the Tyranny Tracker\, a qualitative index that classifies the world’s countries and territories as democratic\, hybrid authoritarian\, or fully authoritarian. This political regime assessment tool is now available to the public at a moment when tyranny is on the rise worldwide. \nAccording to HRF’s Tyranny Tracker\, 76% of the world’s population lives under authoritarianism\, representing 102 countries and territories\, or 6.3 billion people — a number that is partly explained by the hybrid authoritarian regimes of India\, Indonesia\, Pakistan\, and the Philippines\, and by the fully authoritarian regimes of China\, Ethiopia\, Nigeria\, Russia\, and Vietnam\, which rule over some of the world’s most populous countries. \nThe Tyranny Tracker classifies countries using a methodology consisting of 45 indicators categorised into three thematic pillars: electoral competition\, freedom of dissent\, and institutional accountability. The methodology is informed by academic literature and HRF’s 20 years of experience advocating on behalf of dissidents from countries ruled by authoritarian regimes. The research draws on a range of sources\, including media\, data collected by HRF’s in-house research team\, an extensive human rights network\, and expert advice. \n	Register now This link opens in a new tab
