Constitutionally Supported Consumer Protection

One of the interesting data points from my research was that of the 193 UN member states, 64 have constitutions that include a provision for consumer protection, 49 don't, and 83 have no answer. https://unctad.org/topic/competition-and-consumer-protection/consumer-protection-map NOTE: I've noticed that the data on this UN webpage can become unstable, and sometimes display errors. (For instance, at one point the page removed all the countries with no answer, reporting that 0 countries had no answer. 🤷‍♀️

I've started keeping my own scorecard list of this particular item because it already changed from 62 when I accessed it last year to 64 yeses as of today (6/11/26).

What does this chart (below) tell you?

I find it interesting that the blue (yes) seems far more concentrated in the global south than western Europe, the UK, the US, Australia and India. BTW, I'm surprised that India isn't a yes, given some of the seemingly strongly consumer protection supporting provisions in its constitution https://thelaw.institute/consumer-protection-issues/constitutional-mandate-consumer-protection-india/
