"The 2024 version of the rule of law combines the power of judges, militant groups and administrative authorities that claim to be "independent". Judges make law while pretending to interpret it. Militant groups transform their demands into basic rights through the media. The 'independent' administrative authorities exercise an aggressive form of social engineering without having been given a mandate to do so, and in the name of combating hatred and disinformation they are in fact promoting civilizational censorship. They are doing this as part of a globalized techno-structure that is steadily stripping national sovereignty of its essence," said Mathieu Bock-Coté, world-renowned Canadian sociologist, author and political commentator, at the Laws of Sovereignty conference on Friday. The international event, organized by MCC, brought together renowned law professors, political scientists and experts from international judicial fora from around the world and legal cultures to share their views on the new challenges to sovereignty, such as globalization, European integration and digitalization.
