Outdated standards, poverty and the gender gap: a study on the consequences of inequalities on the Rule of Law
In today’s world, the concept of the Rule of Law is nearly universally accepted. For proponents of human rights, the Rule of Law is seen as a necessary instrument for avoiding discrimination and arbitrary use of force. Nevertheless, how does profound and persistent social and economic disparity affect the Rule of Law’s integrity? The major goal of the research is to try to understand the impact of inequalities on the legal system, particularly regarding one of the key ideas of the Rule of Law: that everybody should be treated equally by the law and those in charge of enforcing it.
