The British Institute of International and Comparative Law’s (BIICL) Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law has published a working paper titled ‘The Rule of Law and Covid-19 related technologies' written by Dr Julinda Beqiraj, Rowan Stennett and Nyasha Weinberg.

  • what are the different conceptions of the Rule of Law?
  • what are the core elements of a functional definition of the Rule of Law?
  • what are the advantages and limits of using a Rule of Law lens when assessing the introduction of new technologies?
