The “Statistics” section is designed to visualize and analyze quantitative data reflecting key trends in law enforcement and the functioning of judicial systems across post-Soviet and transitional countries.
Its primary purpose is to provide reliable and comparable information based on factual and documentary sources, presented in a format suitable for expert and academic use.

The collected data make it possible to study the dynamics of judicial decisions, the distribution of cases by category and type of violation, as well as changes in patterns of law enforcement over time.
Through a structured approach, the section enables users to observe not only individual cases but also systemic patterns that reflect broader institutional and legal developments.

The statistical database of ARGA Observatory is based on three sources:

• data collected through monitoring conducted by the expert network and partner organizations;

• official court decisions and public registries;

• verified reports from legal and academic institutions.

All information undergoes verification to ensure accuracy and consistency with publicly available sources.
Special attention is given to uniform terminology and classification, allowing the data to be used in international comparative research and reports by intergovernmental bodies.

The section’s interactive dashboards allow users to filter data by country, type of case, type of violation, and time period.
Users can visualize information through charts, graphs, and maps that reflect not only quantitative but also qualitative aspects of judicial processes — for example, the share of cases involving procedural violations or the percentage of decisions appealed to higher courts.

ARGA Observatory views statistics as a tool for education and legal transparency.
Access to data supports professional analysis and promotes a culture of openness in judicial information, fully aligned with the principles of good governance and the rule of law.

Separate statistical panels are dedicated to the dynamics of legal reforms, changes in the structure of criminal and administrative cases, and comparative analysis of judicial workload across the region.
Through this system, users can assess the effectiveness of justice, the level of judicial independence, and the degree to which fundamental fair-trial guarantees are upheld.

The section also serves as a basis for the preparation of ARGA Observatory’s annual analytical reports.
Statistical data form the foundation for conclusions on trends, regional differences, and the relationship between national practices and international standards.

By applying a rigorous methodology and unified data-collection criteria, ARGA Observatory ensures high-quality analysis and compatibility with reporting formats used by the United Nations, the OECD, and the Council of Europe.
This makes the “Statistics” section not only informational but also a research tool capable of supporting academic and intergovernmental projects focused on assessing justice systems and human-rights protection across the region.
