Canada 

Canada is a constitutional monarchy with a federal parliamentary government. The multiparty federal election was reported to be free and fair. The government had mechanisms in place to identify, investigate, prosecute, and punish officials who committed human rights abuses and corruption.

The overall score indicates that there are medium 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.:
  • Threats of violence against indigenous women and girls
  • Threats of violence against Black, Asian, Jewish, and Muslim minorities

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.
