Correct Answer

Explanation

The Rule of Law Index is published by the World Justice Project (WJP), an independent, multidisciplinary organization that measures how the rule of law is experienced and perceived in countries worldwide across eight factors. While the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is a prominent legal entity, it is a judicial organ of the United Nations that settles legal disputes between states and does not produce statistical indices. This question tests the candidate's knowledge of major international reports and the specific global organizations responsible for their publication.
