Efforts to achieve the desired freedom have failed for the 17th year in a row. This was the conclusion of the organization Freedom House, in the report published for 2022.

The beginning of the war in Ukraine marked a direct violation of human rights. 84 countries of the world belong to the category of free countries, while 57 still need to work to reach this stage. As far as Albania is concerned, it continues to be the same.

“On the positive side, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly are generally respected areas. There are areas that can be improved. Political parties are very polarized and corruption and organized crime still remain serious problems.”

Meanwhile, Kosovo has a difference of 4 points, in the ranking that goes up to 100 points. This improvement is considered to be one of the biggest worldwide for 2022. There are two countries that have suffered a decline in their status. Peru went from free to partly free and Burkina Faso went from partly free to not free.
