Preferred term

compliance with law  

Definition(s)

  • In the lead-up to the 2003 war in Iraq, the United Nations weapons inspectors roamed the country in search of reliable evidence of whether Iraq was complying or not with international law. In debates over whether to extend or to retract the use of the death penalty, lawmakers and enforcement officers take contrasting positions on whether increased penalties result in greater compliance with law.
