The Rule of Law: Between a Legal Notion and a Political Tool - PART 1
How has the concept of the rule of law evolved over the last decades and what is behind the politicization of the concept of the rule of law? To what extent can the developments in the debates between Hungary and the EU be seen as unique, or part of a wider international process? At what stage are currently the various rule of law procedures concerning Hungary?
Eminent Hungarian and foreign representatives from the academic and political world will share their insights at the conference of the Danube Institute on 6th June 2023.
The rule of law is a safeguard against arbitrary exercises of government power. It means the highest officials in the land, from King or President down, are subject to the same laws and regulations as ordinary citizens. In order to do this effectively the law must provide clarity, equality and predictability. It is not to be confused with the rule of judges or courts because they too, must act in conformity with laws passed by democratic legislations and with longstanding legal traditions. On June 6th, distinguished legal minds from several countries will review the ways in which the concept of the Rule of Law is being used and misused in modern politics and internationally.
