Inequality before the law
- Inequitable administration of justice
- Denial of right to equal protection by the law
- Prejudicial treatment in the administration of justice
- Biased legal systems
Nature
Unequal access to legal advice, representation and other legal facilities, which may or may not be written into the law, acts as a special restriction on the rights of certain sections of the community.
Claim
The poor, outcasts and minorities are discriminated against in the enforcement and the interpretation of law. Proposals for change offered by sub-groups are rejected by the majority body as not serving the needs of the whole.
