The rule of law’ is increasingly regarded as integral to liberal democ-
racy, and its significance is frequently discussed by lawyers, academics,
politicians and the media. But the meaning of the phrase is not always
clear. What does The rule of law’ mean exactly? And why is it so impor-
tant to the democratic state and, above all, its citizens?
In Understanding the Rule ofUaw, former President of the Dutch
Supreme Court Geert Corstens paints a lively and accessible portrait
of the rule of law in practice. The focus is on the role of the courts,
where the tensions in a democratic state governed by the rule of law
are often discussed and resolved. Using landmark judgments, Geert
Corstens explains what judges do and why their work is valuable. What
do minimum sentences and prisoners’ voting rights have to do with
each other? Why is there no easy answer to the question of whether
a paedophile organisation should be banned? Why is it no joke when
the Italian politician Silvio Berlusconi calls the judiciary The cancer of
democracy’? Understanding the Rule of Uan provides the answers to these
and many other questions, and is essential reading for anyone interested
in the state of democracy today.
