Ethics may or may not be enforced, whereas laws are supposed to be. Ethics if they are codified are usually done so unofficially, while laws are codified by a government.

Ethics may vary among people and institutions, and laws are supposed to apply equally. All ethics are ethical, not all laws are ethical.
