  • The World Justice Project defines the rule of law system as one in which the following four universal principles are upheld:
    1. The government and its officials and agents are accountable under the law.
    2. The laws are clear, publicized, stable and fair, and protect fundamental rights, including the security of persons and property.
    3. The process by which the laws are enacted, administered, and enforced is accessible, efficient, and fair.
    4. Justice is delivered by competent, ethical, and independent representatives and neutrals who are of sufficient number, have adequate resources, and reflect the makeup of the communities they serve.
