Federal Assembly elections are considered free and fair. Parliament elects the executive leadership every four years. The government took credible steps to identify and punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses.

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.
