I am going to take this as if you mean universal laws that cannot be violated and not laws imposed by a state. These are 3 rules that I think if everyone followed would lead to a world better than the current one.

treat other as you would wish them to treat you
work to provide for those who are less able than you
don't knowlingly pursue unsustainable or unachievable goals

You can probably trim that down by one.

Treat others as you would have them treat you.
Pursue a useful existence.

But I would also add:

Treat yourself with genuine respect.

This feeds back into the first point.
