RULE OF LAW
Marco Pannella
Honorary President – in memoriam
Marco established the Global Committee for the Rule of Law (GCRL) in March 2016, just over two months before his passing. He was Honorary President and upon his decease the GCRL was named after him. By resorting to fasting on countless occasions, he pushed farther Gandhi’s doctrine of nonviolence, in order to advance his goals and convince those in power to abide by the laws and rights that they frequently trampled on. Marco was an extraordinary freedom-loving politician and friend, greathearted and unyielding Member of Parliament and civil rights activist, which is why we believe he was and will remain an inspiring protagonist of Italian and transnational politics.
His motto was: “The Rule of Law for the right to live”
