Rule of Law

A country without the rule of law faces serious consequences, including social disintegration, economic instability, and rights violations, as it lacks a framework for justice, accountability, and stability.

Without laws and their enforcement, society can descend into chaos, with individuals having no fear of punishment for their wrongdoing, leading to a breakdown in order and potentially the rise of vigilantism. Investment is deterred, economic growth is stifled, business activities are compromised because contracts cannot be enforced and property rights are not protected, and the government is unable to collect taxes, enforce the law, provide security, control territory, provide for political or civil functions, and maintain infrastructure. State power is abused, leading to widespread corruption, rights violations, and a lack of accountability.

The rule of law is crucial because it ensures that everyone, including the government, is subject to the law, thus laying the foundation for a stable society by protecting individual rights, preventing arbitrary abuse of power, promoting economic growth, and fostering trust in the legal system, thus contributing to the proper functioning of a democracy. It is considered the cornerstone of a just and equitable society.

The rule of law is based on principles such as fundamental rights, democracy and justice. These principles ensure that everyone is treated equally before the law and that the government acts within the law.

“It’s a Right to protect against intolerable wrongs—no matter who you are.”

Our goal is to seek to end global threats to fundamental rights, democracy and justice by:

Ensuring that the Sate power complies with the law and that executive, legislative and judicial powers are not exercised arbitrarily and are used responsibly and fairly, to protect the rights of citizens and to foster a transparent and accountable system, which ultimately strengthens trust and legitimacy.

Protecting freedom of religion and belief and combating discrimination and intolerance based on religion.

Using the mechanisms of the justice system to ensure that people are treated fairly and protected by the law.

Contributing to maintaining a professional, engaging, and compliant with the judicial system.

Collaborating with the judicial system to deliver pragmatic, tailored, and focused services.

Advocating for policy changes that protect people’s rights and implement transitional justice measures such as the Jurisdictional Council to address past injustices and facilitate reintegration into society.

Ensuring that individuals are not wrongly accused or punished for crimes they did not commit.

Ensuring the establishment of a National Fraud and Cybercrime Reporting Centre in all countries, where individuals can report cases of fraud or cybercrime they have been victims of, allowing law enforcement to collect and analyse this information to identify trends and investigate potential criminal activity.

Striking down any international or national law if it is found to be contrary to the international rule of law.

Enhancing public safety through prevention, protection, response and resilience to situations.

Improving the performance and strengthening the transparency, and integrity of the World Courts.

Ensuring that judges are accountable and that courts make the right decisions through the judicial appeals system. A court of appeal involves asking a higher court and a council of jurisdiction to review a decision made by a lower court. The appeals process corrects mistakes and clarifies the law.

Transforming the firefighter, ambulance, immigration, police, military and judicial systems so that they are more accountable and actions are appropriate, fair and equitable.

Using the maximum available resources to progressively realize the rights of the Rule of Law.

Contributing to the development and implementation of innovative legislative solutions in all countries

Challenging and fighting against prejudice and discrimination, whether it’s by your employer, a service provider, or anyone in society, and make sure our essential rights and freedoms are protected.

Preventing criminalization and avoiding unnecessary prosecutions of children.

Ensuring that children under 14 cannot be charged with a crime and that courts take into account the welfare of child offenders over 14.

Providing legal safeguards and embedding legal safeguards in the system.

Supporting the victims of the rule of law abuse, and raising awareness.

Protecting the rights, dignity and safety of children.

Carrying out research and evaluation to inform policy and practice.

Investigating and prosecuting cases of violations of the international rule of law.
