Guidance Document: Summary of threats to the rule of law in the UK

The rule of law forms part of the foundations on which the UK’s long-standing democracy is built – yet, its existence is not guaranteed, nor is its form static. The rule of law is routinely subject to threats that may undermine it and forces that move its boundaries.

This document summarises the main existing and emerging threats to the rule of law in the UK, with a view to assisting the NGO community and the wider public in recognising such threats and their potential impacts.
