Laws are seen as the epitome of social order and reason, and the bulwark against violence and chaos. Through law we ritualise conflict and we distil disputes so that an outcome may be reached that is respected by both the victor and the loser. It is on that basis that the rule of law is portrayed as the keystone upon which civilisation may exist and continue to exist.
The rule of law is a passage by which we can seek to escape the chaotic state of conflict and attempt to find the utopian world of peace and reason. Because of this, it is disturbing when the rule of law is disrupted – the wilderness is dark outside the confines of the legal shelters that we create. But just as the rules of physics can be used to predict the strength or collapse of a building, there are core humanistic principles that a society or a government ignores at its own peril.
