“The rule of law is the underlying framework of rules and rights that enable prosperous and equitable societies. The rule of law is a system in which no one, including government, is above the law; when laws protect fundamental rights; and where justice is accessible to all. One person who recognises the central importance of the rule of law is Beatrice Mtetwa. Their arena is Zimbabwe, but their message is universal: the rule of law is the foundation for the promotion of democracy, human rights, social harmony and economic development. Although it was a 19th century British jurist, Albert Venn Dicey, who coined the term “rule of law,” the concept is old. The philosopher Aristotle said, “The law must reign.” This basic principle is often overlooked. When Western leaders and journalists talk about brutal regimes, they talk about oppression and corruption and the need to spread democracy. Nevertheless, democracy has never taken root where the rule of law is respected in the violation. Without them, there is no basis for free and fair elections, let alone for basic human rights. Nor is there a foundation on which a civil society can be built. When denied equal justice before the law, ordinary people turn inward or, if they turn outward, against each other.
Even economic relations collapse in the absence of the rule of law. In Zimbabwe, the rule of law has been “mutilated”, according to Beatrice Mtetwa. The country`s constitution has been amended 17 times, laws are selectively interpreted based on political affiliation, and judges often decide to support the agenda of Robert Mugabe`s ruling Zanu-PF party. Human rights violations are widespread and often occur without consequences. | Casting John Brody, Circus-Szalewski, Stephanie Czajkowski, Stephanie Betesh, Will Green, Markiss McFadden, Adam Cardon Stephanie Betesh Andrew Blood J.J.
