Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks for your answer, but I am not sure about the word "standing" see definition: standing n. the right to file a lawsuit or file a petition under the circumstances

Asker: standing- The legally protectible stake or interest that an individual has in a dispute that entitles him to bring the controversy before the court to obtain judicial relief. this is not what is meant here. here the intention is that the State shall be subject to the same legal treatment if it violates the law
