What are the problems associated with the application of the concepts of the rule of law?

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPLICATION OF
THE CONCEPT

There are some
limitations to the applications of the rule of law. These  include the
following: 

1. DURING A STATE OF EMERGENCY: When a country is in
   a state of emergency for example, if a country is fighting a war, there is possibility of arbitrary rule. A citizen may be deprived of some of his rights. 
2. AN AUTOCRATIC GOVERNMENT: If the government
   in power is autocratic, the rule of law may not operate. The reason is that autocratic leaders
   rule according to wishes not according to the laws. 
3. EXISTENCE OF TRIBUNALS: A tribunal is not a
   regular court. There is therefore no guarantee that there could be fair trial
   for individuals at tribunals.
4.  DELEGATED LEGISLATION: Delegated
   legislations are laws made by non-legislative bodies. It is possible for the
   people to whom power has been given to misuse it.
5.  IMMUNITY ENJOYED BY
   DIPLOMATS: Representatives
   of foreign countries for example, High commissioners
   and Ambassadors cannot be questioned or arrested
   for any offence they commit in the country where they are serving or accredited. They can only be asked to leave
   that country.
6.  LEGISLATIVE
   IMMUNITY: Members of the
   legislature cannot be questioned or arrested for any speech or any comment
   they make in the house. 
7. JUDICIAL IMMUNITY: Judges are also immuned or protected from
   arrest in the. performance
   of their duties.
8.  IMMUNITY ENJOYED BY THE PRESIDENT: The President or
   Prime Minister of any given country enjoy some special rights which the ordinary person does
   not enjoy. For
   example, they cannot appear in court.
9.  LACK
   OF JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE: If the Judiciary
   is not free, the rule of law would be in jeopardy or danger.
10.  UNEQUAL
    DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH: A person who has no source of income may not be able to
    employ the services of a lawyer if he is involved in a
    case.
