Towards reinforcing or contesting the vision of the rule of law?

Myriam Senn

The UN Declaration of 24 September 2012 reaffirming the commitment of Heads of State and Government to the Rule of Law reflects the current uneasiness accompanying the application of just the concept. This short paper argues that it is due to discrepancies in its worldwide understanding and to the rise of non-state, transnational regulatory regimes, which as such are not compelled to apply it. A governance issue arises, whether to reinforce or contest the rule of law.
