Equality before the Law Principle

The Principle of Equality before the Law means that everyone is subject to the same laws and legal processes, regardless of their background, status, or personal characteristics. It ensures that no one receives special treatment or is unfairly discriminated against in legal matters. This principle forms the foundation of fair justice systems, promoting impartiality and consistency. In practice, it requires that every person, whether rich or poor, powerful or powerless, is treated equally in courts and legal procedures, ensuring fairness and trust in the rule of law.
