Rule of law
Modern societies require stability and a clear system for resolving conflicts both within a community and between people and the state. The rule of law is one of the foundations of democratic governance, ensuring that the same rules, standards, and principles apply to all individuals and organisations, including the government itself. The rule of law requires that everyone is treated equally in accordance with the law and receives fair treatment from independent and impartial courts (Venice Commission, 2011). The legal culture is enshrined in laws, codes, statues, traditions, rulings procedures and international agreements. Strengthening the rule of law is an essential prerequisite for ensuring the effective provision of public goods and services, for promoting economic development, maintaining peace and order, and ensuring accountability in the case of integrity breaches and corruption.
