A few years back, I heard a fellow on another platform go on about the Rule of Law. He was going on about how they had to be followed, but gave no definition.

Ambassador Freeman is owed a debt for the concise definition:

"supposes that the United States – or the United States plus the club of former imperialist powers called the “G7” – can make the rules, alter them at will, exempt themselves from them, and determine to whom else they do or do not apply."

To make it even more concise, one could define the Rule of Law as whatever we want it to be.
