The Rule of Law is Absolute and Applies to All

Civil society is built upon the rule of law.

It demands adherence from the private citizen and those in public office alike. It applies whether or not it is considered to be inconvenient or inexpedient.

A breach of the law does not become less so, because it is asserted to be either “specific” or “limited”.

No court would recognise such an exception in domestic law. Obligations in international law require similar compliance.

The Bar of Northern Ireland is committed to the maintenance of the rule of law​.
