The element of equality before the law (which makes up the principle of equality) ensures that the guidelines established by the executive and judicial powers of a country, must be applied in society without discriminating against anyone. However, this element recognizes that there are some differences between citizens that should not be ignored when applying these guidelines, as ignoring them will cause disadvantages for some individuals. In this case, this element states that "equal treatment between equal individuals and unequal treatment between unequal individuals who are equal with each other" is mandatory. In other words, we can say that this element of the principle of equality states that the differences must be real and must be used to justify differential treatments.
