The rule of law

Explanation:

The rule of law is the notion that the government is not above the law. In other words, every person – whether politician, lawmaker, judge, or law enforcement official – is subject to the law. The rule of law is largely incompatible with a monarchy or oligarchy where rulers are often held above the law.

no every country is held to the same degree as others just some member countries such as the usa and germany are more economically sound so the need to show there support to all others
