The role of the rule of law in democracy: Insights on Nepal’s situation

Nepal celebrated its 74th National Democracy Day on February 19. It is important to note that democracy rests on the rule of law , which guarantees that every citizen is treated equally, regardless of their social status. This is why Nepal must continue to prioritise democracy and the rule of law to protect the rights and freedoms of its people.

In a democratic system, citizens have the power to elect their representatives to govern them. This empowers people to have a say in how they are governed and allows them to influence government policies. However, it is important to note that citizens need to periodically evaluate their elected leaders to ensure that they are acting in the best interest of the people.
