"The rule of law is not merely a legal principle; it is a principle of governance. It is a principle of security, and it is a principle of development." "Lasting security is built when citizens trust that public institutions operate fairly and impartially," @Dr_KatjaK noted #GSPReview2026 @UNFPAUganda

The rule of law goes beyond courts, legislation and legal procedures. It is the foundation upon which societies are built, ensuring that everyone, from ordinary citizens to the most senior public officials, is accountable under the law. #GSPReview2026 @UgandaPrisons @jbyabs

Ladies and gentlemen, when we speak about the rule of law, we are not speaking only about courts, laws, or legal procedures. We are speaking about the very foundation upon which our societies are built. We are speaking about a system in which everyone, from the ordinary citizen to the most senior public official, is equally accountable under the law. We are speaking about fair, transparent, and predictable institutions, and a society where rights are protected, obligations are respected, and justice is accessible to all. The Head of Office, Austrian Embassy Development Cooperation,@Dr_KatjaK emphasized #GSPReview2026 @JLOSUganda @norbertmao @Dr_KatjaK
