Abstract
Background: The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the rule of law and sustainable development. The rule of law, frequently referred to as ‘the empire of laws and not of men,’ underscores the significance of constraining capricious authority and ensuring that public servants adhere to legal structures in their conduct. The rule of law, being a legal principle, is of paramount significance for society’s overall advancement and well-being; therefore, its importance should not be undervalued. Its worth should not be diminished. In contrast, sustainable development endeavours to reconcile the interests of current and future generations through the integration of economic, social, and environmental considerations.
Methods: This study primarily focuses on theoretical observations and employs a qualitative methodology. Its objective is to explore the relationship between the rule of law and sustainable development by analysing their attributes, viewpoints, and interpretations. By integrating the idea of the rule of law with sustainable development, it aims to consolidate information that is often scattered or semi-structured. Data is gathered through methods including desk research, descriptive analysis, and theoretical observations.
Results and Conclusions: The significance of upholding the rule of law in the pursuit of sustainable development is underscored in this article. Furthermore, the present study investigates the correlation between the advancement of sustainable development and the notion of the rule of law. This encompasses a comprehensive examination of multiple facets, including formal, procedural, substantive, constitutional, and good governance elements. The rule of law is recognised by the international development community as a foundational element that facilitates the achievement of additional development goals. This scholarly article enhances the existing understanding of the reciprocal support between sustainable development and the rule of law by analysing this intricate interplay).
