The subject of this article is the innovation regarding general principles of administrative law. Initially, these were identified merely as judicial general principles in administrative law. However, a more comprehensive approach is now being implemented, which is founded on the principles of the rule of law, democracy, and good governance, as well as the application of constitutional, European, and international law. The general principles in an administrative law context, the general principles of proper administration, and the general principles of good administration (good governance) are the three sets of principles that are distinguished in this context. In addition, the Netherlands administrative law literature contains three novel principles: the principle of integrity, the principle of responsiveness, and the principle of equality (égalité). Very recently, there are two new principles for inclusion in (draft) articles of the (Netherlands) General Administrative Law Act which are discussed here: the appropriate support principle and the principle of servitude.
