Concreting Righteousness in International Criminal Justice

The philosophy of being righteous essentially sustains our existence, questioning the sphere of morality in man. It reaches the colossal connotation of the royal essence of our natural virtue—if it exists—which can then institute the soul of all international human rights and criminal conventions. No matter what we include in our arguments and reasoning in relation to the content of justice itself, it is the sugarcoated perception of the improper use of our obligations that undermines its major philosophy. All divisive interpretations of the nature of rights and justice ultimately reveal how fragile our human rights ecosphere is and why there is a lack of criminal accountability for those who commit core international crimes. The truth is that justice is served without using any metaphysics of categorical righteousness. Consequently, the axiomatic merit of justice remains conceptually indistinct, as it cannot face the noble spirit of the forum of humanity. Justice becomes a simple metaphor. The very merits of being righteous decline, and the actual notions of cruel injustice escalate. This is not my assumption, nor is it the judgment of national or international courts. It is proven, it is seen, and it is waged. We will witness that those very major and invaluable provisions of justice have been recycled “in the name of humanity” to slaughter populations of millions in order to gain control of their resources.
