These data were collected to assess the level of life-integrity rights in various countries and regions of the world. The concept of life integrity is based on six related claims: the right to life, the right to bodily inviolability, the right to security from arbitrary punishment, seizure, and detention, the right to own one's body and labor, the right to free movement without discrimination, and the right to marry and form a family. Information was obtained for 145 countries and occupied regions by using the Life-Integrity Violation Analysis (LIVA) form. Scores were then assigned for each country with respect to life-integrity violation, economic development, and ethnic discrimination. The study also assessed the status of political rights, civil liberties, and individual freedom. Other variables pertain to the proportion of national income that went to the top quintile, the GINI coefficient for income, and whether the area was an occupied territory or was in the midst of an internal war.
