Lex Iniusta Non Est Lex is a Latin maxim that means “an unjust law is no law at all.” This principle asserts that any law that is unfair, oppressive or contrary to natural justice should not be considered as a valid law. This principle is based on the idea that law, as an instrument of justice, must promote fairness, equality, and social good. This maxim has been an essential part of legal philosophy since the time of ancient Greece and has influenced the development of modern legal systems. The concept of the rule of law is closely related to this principle as it presupposes that all laws must conform to certain fundamental principles of justice and fairness. Today, this maxim remains relevant in debates about the legitimacy of laws and the role of the legal system in promoting justice and the common good.
