The principle of the rule of law is considered one of the fundamental pillars upon which the modern state is built. It is based on subjecting all individuals and public authorities, regardless of their positions, to the provisions of the law without discrimination or exception, in a way that guarantees the protection of rights and freedoms and the achievement of social justice. The importance of this principle stems from being the framework that regulates the relationship between the ruler and the ruled, and the foundation from which legislation derives its legitimacy. A legal text has no real value unless it is applied within the framework of respect for the constitution, judicial independence, and the separation of powers. The application of the rule of law also contributes to limiting the abuse of power, strengthening the principle of equality before the judiciary, and reinforcing trust in legal institutions, which positively reflects on political, economic, and social stability. Conversely, weakening this principle leads to the spread of corruption, the decline of legal security, and the disruption of societal balance. Therefore, consolidating the rule of law is not limited to enacting legislation, but also requires genuine political will, independent judicial institutions, and a societal legal culture that believes the law is the primary guarantee of justice, stability, and sustainable development.
