The nations of the world have always ensured the stability of civilized societies by develop rule of law, good governance and judicial independence. However, the rapid changes that witnessed in various regions of the world, including the Middle East, led to discover a big gap between legislation, societies and developmental that failed to meet the challenges.  The justice system has not been able to absorb the magnitude of the challenges that have destabilized societies. That led to raised Important inquires, about the robustness of the rule of law system.

The escalation of the challenges and the emergence of a new generation of organized crime and terrorism, which is trying to destabilize countries in its usual form, called for the attention of the legal and social jurisprudence to the rapid establishment of legal rules, which contribute to stopping the criminal tide in its new form.

Among these efforts, it was agreed upon by a group of experts in sociology and law that the legal culture of the ruling elite, justice and law enforcement personnel and other segments of society interested in promoting legal issues should be strengthened by analyzing the problems facing societies, and to ensure the pillars of society values of tolerance, transcendence and solidarity.

And to uphold the rule of law to form a common ground for the restoration of communal peace and coexistence, particularly in areas affected by conflict, barbaric attacks, underdevelopment and intolerance.
