The Rule of Law
The United
Nations definition of rule of law:
“a principle
of governance in which all persons, institutions and entities, public and
private, including the State itself, are accountable to laws that are publicly
promulgated, equally enforced and independently adjudicated, and which are
consistent with international human rights norms and standards. It requires, as
well, measures to ensure adherence to the principles of supremacy of law,
equality before the law, accountability to the law, fairness in the application
of the law, separation of powers, participation in decision-making, legal
certainty, avoidance of arbitrariness and procedural and legal
transparency."
