The rule of law is one of the EU’s fundamental values, essential for guaranteeing democracy and everybody’s rights and freedoms. Under the rule of law, all public powers always act within the constraints set out by law and under the control of independent and impartial courts. Ultimately, the rule of law is about fairness.
In our series of animations designed by the renowned artist Christoph Niemann, we show in simple and accessible terms why the rule of law matters in everyday life, using the metaphor of sports. Without a neutral arbiter, is a football game really fair? And would you engage in a pool or a basketball game if the rules changed halfway through?
Watch our six animations on the rule of law, share them with your friends and discuss them in class!
