Rule of Law<br />
Definition:<br />
Legal and political systems, structures and practices that condition a government’s actions<br />
to protect citizens’ rights and liberties, maintain law and order, and encourage the effective<br />
functioning of the country. 67<br />
Example in practice<br />
Afghanistan has searched to re-establish the rule of law following the exit of the Taliban in<br />
2001 from government, focusing on rebuilding state and non-state institutions that<br />
promote the application of public rules which are fair, independent and equally enforced. 68<br />
