World's Top 10 Most Ethical Places 2014

Palau: A Western Pacific island nation, located near the islands of the Philippines and Indonesia, Palau is an archipelago surrounded by a fringe reef and offers some of the best-rated dive sites and live-aboard.

Dolphin-watching, sport-fishing, kayaking, canoe tours and sail charters draw adventurous tourists year-round. Palau has demonstrated strong scores in environmental responsibility and human rights and earns its place among Ethical Traveler’s top 10 destinations. Palau established diplomatic relations with India in 2005.

Uruguay: A coastal nation in eastern Latin America, Uruguay is included in this list for its “extensive human rights laws, including the most liberal LGBT rights in South America.” In fact, Uruguay goes further than the First World nations in recognizing same-sex civil unions, allowing gays to serve openly in the military, and legally permitting same-sex adoption and enforcing anti-discrimination laws to prevent discrimination over sexual orientation or gender identity. Uruguay also scores high on environmental criteria. The six-city Uruguay tour covering the capital Montevideo and the cities of Colonia, Punta del Este, La Paloma, Piriápolis and La Barra - José Ignacio is very popular with tourists, many of whom flock to the six major hot springs in the country. The Montevideo Carnival in February is also a huge attraction.
