Using fun, interactive pedagogical tools and a classroom setting, this video explains to young people the basic concept of the rule of law and how they can engage in building a society on just laws which protect the fundamental rights of the individual and promote citizenship (https://en.unesco.org/themes/gced).

In simple engaging language with real life examples and interaction with pupils, it explains 'accountability', 'freedom of expression', the characteristics of good law and equality before the law.

The video describes the UNESCO-UNODC partnership on education for the rule of law (https://en.unesco.org/themes/gced/rul...) which works to bridge the gap between education and justice and supports Sustainable Development Goals 4 (in particular target 4.7) and 16. The partnership has developed interactive handbooks for schools and guidance for policy-makers.
