IBA expresses deep concern over the ongoing erosion of the rule of law in the United States
The International Bar Association (IBA) expresses deep concern over the ongoing erosion of the rule of law in the United States. Recent attacks by the US administration on the judiciary, the legal profession, and the media - each a vital pillar of democracy - have created a chilling effect both domestically and internationally. As a global leader, the US must uphold these fundamental principles, which are essential to democracy and the rule of law.
