19th Ave New York, NY 95822, USA
Mauritania

Mauritania, officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a sovereign state in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest. 

Mauritania is ranked 20th among 47 countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, and its overall score is above the regional average but below the world average. The Mauritanian economy grew slowly in 2017 and 2018, picked up speed in 2019, contracted in 2020, and resumed growth in 2021.

The legal system of Mauritania is a mix of French civil law and Sharia Law. Crimes against Islam and religion are punished particularly harshly. Mauritania does not have dedicated whistleblowing laws or meaningful provisions to protect whistleblowers.
