RULE OF LAW, LEGAL CERTAINTY, AND COMPREHENSIVE VICTIM PROTECTION
Description
The article analyzes the interrelationship and significance of these concepts in the construction of an equitable society. The rule of law ensures that all persons and institutions, including the State, are subject to fair and equitably applied laws, which is fundamental for peace and socioeconomic development. Legal certainty provides clarity and predictability, protects individual rights, and strengthens trust in institutions. Comprehensive victim protection guarantees the rights and well-being of crime victims through access to justice and psychosocial support. A strong rule of law promotes legal certainty, an essential condition for effective victim protection, and underscores the need to design and implement legal systems and public policies that reinforce these principles in order to protect and respect the rights of all.
