Summary
The rule of law – along with democracy and human rights – is one of the leading notions in international relations and an object of intense public debate in many countries.1 As a political ideal, it is typically invoked to argue for greater recognition of law and legal institutions in modern society and used as a criterion to distinguish between states in which law plays a prominent role and those in which it does not. As a legal principle, it is incorporated in many constitutions, frequently referred to by courts and elaborated at length in legal doctrine.
