to be governed by the applicable laws
This, in the context here, refers to the legal rules applicable (and then it goes on to mention eg the areas of law that may be relevant here).
This is not referring to "Rule of Law" as a legal concept. (note is does not say Rule of Law in the question) It simply says that it is to be governed by the applicable laws.
