MUNICH, Feb. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Eurasia Group and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs today publish the world's first Atlas of Impunity at the Munich Security Conference, a comprehensive index which tracks the abuse of power across five key societal dimensions – unaccountable governance, abuse of human rights, conflict, economic exploitation. and environmental degradation.

Key Points: 
  • The inaugural Atlas defines impunity as the exercise of power without checks and balances.
  • The Atlas is designed to spark vigorous debate on the rise of unaccountable power worldwide.
  • This lens also highlights the ways in which impunity undermines democratic societies and accountability manifests in nondemocratic systems.
  • The lens of impunity and accountability captures the multidimensional nature of global challenges and the shirking of public responsibility.
