The operation of the rule of law can be abused by the existence of administrative tribunals and special immunities.
The rule of Law refers to the principle that all individuals and institutions, including the government, are subject to and accountable under the law. It ensures that laws are applied equally and fairly, without favouritism.
While these tribunals are established to handle specific types of disputes (e.g., labour, tax), they sometimes operate outside the regular judicial system, which can lead to inconsistencies in how laws are applied. If these tribunals are not bound by the same legal standards as regular courts, it can undermine the rule of law.
Also, when certain individuals (e.g., government officials, diplomats) are granted special legal immunities, it means they are not held accountable under the same laws as ordinary citizens. This can lead to an abuse of power and a violation of the rule of law, as it creates a system where some people are above the law.
