3. well, lets not have it disappear too quickly
two more country summaries from the report:

Peru scores highly with regard to checks on executive power, as well as in protection of
fundamental rights, including freedom of thought and religion and freedom of opinion and expression. Government agencies are transparent, although not as effective as in other middle-income countries. On the other hand, the civil justice system is perceived as slow, expensive, and inaccessible, particularly for disadvantaged groups. Another weakness is criminal
justice—ranking 36th out of the 66 countries indexed— which can be explained by corruption
and deficiencies in the criminal investigation and adjudication systems.

Bolivia faces challenges in terms of transparency and accountability of public institutions, reflecting a climate characterized by impunity, corruption, and political interference in law enforcement agencies, the legislature, and the judiciary. The judicial system
is inefficient and affected by corruption. Concerns also remain about discrimination and restrictions in the freedom of opinion and expression (both ranking 11th out of 12 in the region). Property rights are weak, and police abuses remain a significant problem. On the other hand, Bolivia obtains high marks in the areas of open government (ranking 5th among income-group peers), and affordability of legal services.
