Rule of Law Equation

The rule of law is the foundation for the development of peaceful, equitable and prosperous societies. We believe there are four key areas that form the umbrella protection of the rule of law.

Areas of the Rule of Law Defined

The stronger each of these components are, the greater the rule of law.
Equality Under the Law

All people, businesses and governments are accountable, and the law applies to everyone in the same way, no matter who you are.

Transparency of Law

Laws must be clear, precise, affordable and accessible while protecting fundamental human rights.

Independent Judiciary

An independent judiciary ensures equality and fairness of law between people and public officials.

Accessible Legal Remedy

There must be access to timely resolution in a court of law.
