RTLDI Atlas 2026: UN Member States computed RTLP scores
Linked open data export of the RTLDI Atlas for 193 UN member states, including computed RTLP score, nine binary RTLP lever values, GDP baseline, potential GDP, and annual capital exclusions in USD.
RTLDI Atlas 2026 RDF/XML distribution
RTLDI nine-lever concept scheme
The nine binary right-to-life protection levers used to compute national RTLP scores.
RTLDI national observation structure
RTLP score
Computed right-to-life protection score on a 0-1 scale.
GDP per capita
GDP per capita baseline in current USD.
Per capita potential
GDP per capita plus capital exclusions per capita in current USD.
Annual GDP
GDP per capita multiplied by population in current USD.
Annual potential GDP
Annual GDP plus capped capital exclusions in current USD.
Capital exclusion USD
Annual capped capital exclusions in current USD.
Capital exclusion per capita
Annual capped capital exclusions per capita in current USD.
Population
Population used in the atlas computation.
GDP baseline year
Year of the GDP per capita baseline.
V-Dem year
Year of the V-Dem indicators used in the RTLP component crosswalk.
Legal Protections
Present when ordinary law is applied consistently to state agents as well as everyone else. Absent when power can act without predictable legal constraint. Multiplies GDP by lowering the risk of arbitrary loss; people and businesses invest and trade more when they know the rules will be enforced fairly. Annual cost is low.
Lever 1: Legal Protections
Binary RTLP lever value: 1 means present under the atlas threshold; 0 means absent.
Independent Judiciary
Present when there is a judiciary capable of upholding right-to-life laws even against the state. These protections represent opportunities for property rights and contracts to support reliable capital flows to productive uses. Annual cost is low relative to the scale unlocked.
Lever 2: Independent Judiciary
Law Enforcement Accountability
Present when law enforcement agencies are accountable for unlawful killings and violence. These protections represent opportunities to support greater economic scale by reducing arbitrary risk that can deter investment, labor mobility, and everyday economic activity. Annual cost is primarily institutional oversight.
Lever 3: Law Enforcement Accountability
Protection Against Arbitrary Detention
Present when arbitrary detention is prohibited with real legal recourse. These protections represent opportunities for individuals and families to plan, work, and invest with greater security, supporting scale in the economy. Annual cost is low.
Lever 4: Protection Against Arbitrary Detention
Freedom from Torture and Inhumane Treatment
Present when the state has effective measures to prevent torture. These protections represent opportunities to support human capital and cooperation. Annual cost is institutional and training: an investment toward realizing greater scale.
Lever 5: Freedom from Torture and Inhumane Treatment
Civilian Protection in Conflict Zones
Present when mechanisms exist to protect civilians during conflict. These protections represent opportunities to preserve the productive capacity and future of entire regions. Annual cost is primarily military discipline and rules of engagement.
Lever 6: Civilian Protection in Conflict Zones
Access to Justice
Present when ordinary people can bring serious claims and have them heard fairly. These conditions represent opportunities for contracts and rights to function for a wider share of the population. Annual cost is court capacity and legal aid.
Lever 7: Access to Justice
Freedom of Expression and Whistleblower Protections
Present when laws protect people who report corruption from retaliation. These conditions represent opportunities for information to flow more accurately and for public resources to be used more effectively. Annual cost is low: mainly passing and enforcing the law.
Lever 8: Freedom of Expression and Whistleblower Protections
Socioeconomic Conditions
Present when a society makes the deliberate choice to maintain a minimum floor against extreme deprivation. This reflects political will rather than just economic outcomes. When present, it increases the share of the population able to participate productively, expanding overall economic scale. Annual cost is a political decision about minimum security standards.
