About Us

Lawfulculture.org is a growing collection of articles and broadcasts in Arabic which train the spotlight on efforts to enhance the rule of law. We are the authors: a group of 40 media professionals spanning the Gulf states, Lebanon, and Jordan who share a belief that the rule of law cannot be established by police and courts alone. Society must also be enlisted to live by and promote the “culture of lawfulness.” A crucial component of this societal effort is the media itself, which has already played a role in building a culture of lawfulness in places as diverse as Sicily, Italy; Bogota, Colombia; and Hong Kong. As Arab media professionals, we believe newspapers, radio, and television can play a similar role in the Arab world.
