The further development of the meaning of the rule of law is the Delhi Declaration adopted at the International Conference of Jurists held in India from 65438 to 0959. [2] It is recognized that the rule of law is a "dynamic concept", which "is not only used to protect and promote the civil and political rights of individual citizens, but also to create social, economic, educational and cultural conditions in order to realize the legitimate aspirations and dignity of individuals under these conditions." The principle of the rule of law affirmed in the Delhi Declaration is: (1) According to the spirit of the rule of law, the function of the legislature is to create and maintain various conditions that enable everyone to maintain personal dignity. (2) The principle of rule of law should not only prevent the abuse of administrative power, but also need an effective government to maintain legal order, so as to ensure that people have sufficient conditions for social and economic life. (3) The rule of law requires due criminal procedure. (4) Judicial independence and freedom of lawyers. This gives the rule of law new contents: safeguarding human dignity, preventing the abuse of administrative power, and demanding judicial independence, justice and freedom of lawyers.

The Moral Declaration develops the theory of rule of law into the following three principles:

First, according to the principle of the rule of law, the function of the legislature is to create and maintain various conditions so that everyone can maintain "human dignity";

Second, the principle of rule of law should not only provide legal protection to stop the abuse of administrative power, but also enable the government to effectively maintain legal order, thus ensuring people's adequate social and economic living conditions;

Third, judicial independence and freedom of lawyers are indispensable conditions for implementing the principle of rule of law. In recent years, jurists have made new progress in the study of "rule of law".
