The principle of legality of law

Abstract

Abstract: The study dealt with “the principle of legality in the law and ensuring its achievement,” where the researcher first tried to shed light on the definition of the concept of the principle under the law and then focus on the most important sources from which this principle takes its roots. The researcher divided it into documented sources, represented by the Basic Law and the Constitution, legal legislation issued by the Legislative Council, and international treaties and agreements. Then the researcher touched on the unwritten sources of this principle, represented in the first customs, general principles of law, and judicial rulings. Through these sources, he pointed to the most important and most common sources in emphasizing the source of legitimacy and defining its features from the ambiguity of the definition.
