⚖️ Now more than ever, the rule of law matters.

Knowing that the rules apply equally and predictably lets people live with confidence – from signing a job contract to renting a home or speaking freely in public.

When the rule of law is strong, rights are respected. People are protected from abuse of power, treated fairly and given equal access to justice and public services.

This is why, as the rule of law comes under increasing pressure, it’s so important to protect it. Doing so means protecting people’s ability to live their lives, defend their rights, and be part of a system that works for everyone.

That is what the rule of law really is – the infrastructure that allows society to move forward. Together.

For more on what the rule of law stands for and why it matters, dive into a new explainer➡️ europe.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/2026-06/Rule%20of%20law%20explainer%20PDF%20-%20map.pdf
