Albania

The Republic of Albania is a parliamentary democracy. Elections are generally well organized and give voters a choice of candidates who campaign freely. There were some allegations of abuses by members of the security forces. The government took credible steps to identify and punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses.

The overall score indicates that there are substantial risks of potential human rights violations in this country. This may also include the tourism sector. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:
  • Government corruption
  • Lack of independent media
  • Gender-based violence and (sexual) harassment
  • Threats of violence targeting LGBTQI+ persons
  • Child labor

For better comparability, we have converted the original scores of the indices to a uniform scale of 1-100 (1 most negative, 100 most positive).

In the following table you find these recalculated values and the original score in brackets behind them.

The Overall Score is the geometric mean of all converted values for each country. It is subcategorized in five risk categories with colour gradations that can be seen in the map.
