EULY believes that the role of the state in a liberal country, is first to organize the relation between individuals and second to organize the relation between the state and the individuals.

For the first role the main two points that states should focus on:

· the rule of law
· Providing security and safety.

For the second role:

· Equality for all citizens, without any discrimination based on color, gender , ……. "
· Provide security and safety for individuals from others.
· Not to interfere in individuals freedoms, as long as this person didn’t violate other’s rights.
