Ten years lost in two
Indonesia has sunk to a decade low on the Rule of Law Index—a damning confirmation that from police impunity to ad hoc task forces, the law no longer restrains state power, but serves as its weapon.
Indonesia has fallen to its lowest point in a decade according to the 2026 Rule of Law Index released by the World Justice Project. This index measures the rule of law across eight factors and Indonesia's scores have declined in every category. The country's ranking has dropped from 75th place to 76th among 143 nations. The index highlights the deteriorating state of law enforcement, corruption and fundamental rights in Indonesia.
The new administration inherited a declining baseline but failed to reverse the downward trend within two years under Prabowo Subianto's leadership.
