Defining and redefining the rule of law
Rule of Law Anthology: Theme 1
5 MAY 2023 at 10.00–12.00
ONLINE VIA ZOOM
Theme 1
Defining and redefining the rule of law addresses the notion of ‘rule of law itself’ how it is defined from the perspective of different jurisdictions and legal orders, be it in thick or thin versions. Questions that may be addressed in this theme include the discussions of whether or not a re-definition of notion ‘rule of law’ is needed, with regard to the current changes and challenges that are taking place in society. This includes un-democratic and even authoritarian trends and a rather vast flow of information, containing a mix of reliable facts as well as disinformation or outright propaganda. Taxpayers’ rights in relation to the rule of law may also feature in this theme, as well as issues concerning the rule of law at the international level.
