Makes one wonder - is there 'justice' out there in the world?

Confidence in Judicial Systems Varies Worldwide
Gallup, 22 Oct 2014
Slightly more than 50% of adults across 123 countries surveyed in 2013 expressed confidence in their judicial systems and courts. In 73 of these countries, less than half of residents are confident in their country's judicial system, illustrating the importance of one of the United Nations' new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): to "promote rule of law at the national and international levels, and ensure equal access to justice for all."
Regionally, confidence in the rule of law is highest in Asia, where nearly two in three adults (65%) express faith in their judicial systems and courts. In no other region do more than half of residents express such confidence, with overall figures from Latin America (35%) and the countries of the former Soviet Union (28%) among the lowest in the world.
Q: In this country, do you have confidence in the judicial system and courts, or not?
Northern America - Yes 47% No 52%
