Many people don't know exactly whatjustice. Sometimes it seems to be something ephemeral and declarative, used primarily to enhance the impression, arouse imagination and give significance to a particular event. Politics often speculate with impartiality, but sometimes it distorts its true value and real essence. However, the right to justice is of paramount importance in legislation, and not only in scientific works and philosophical treatises. The law brings objectivity to reality, although it does not give it a precise definition, leaving this question open for interpretation by law theorists.
So, the famous Ukrainian activist in the fieldA. Skakun’s rights include an open-mindedness to general principles of law and defines it as “a measure of moral and legal proportionality of what is invested and received in all spheres of human life and their legal support”.
Russian theorist of law V.Hropanyuk, explaining what justice is, gives the formulation of the concept of its principle a social connotation. Among the general provisions of the law, he calls the principle of social justice and considers it decisive in the consideration of relevant legal cases, such as the appointment of a pension, the provision of housing, the definition of criminal punishment.
Indeed, law as a principle of law hasconsiderable value in legal practice. T. Honore in his work “On Law. Brief Introduction ”notes that it is more important to use the term“ justice ”when it comes to the application of the law in life. The most fair use of these norms requires from those who apply them (police, judges, officials) to be impartial, listen to both or all parties involved in the case, leave aside personal interests and know what justice is.
Often there is a question about whethercorrelates the level of punishment with the crime committed by man. The answer to this is rather categorical, because the punishment for a crime must necessarily be proportionate in its severity to the crime committed. Rule of law, which is applied fairly, is primarily a non-discriminatory approach, impartiality. This suggests not only that the corpus delicti provided by law and the conditions of the punishment must answer each other, but also the need to formulate a punishment that is fair to the gravity of the crime, the circumstances in which it occurred, and the person who committed the unlawful acts.
Finally, I would like to emphasize:law and justice are inseparable and interrelated. Although, unfortunately, many have lost faith in this, the law was created to be a legal reflection of objectivity. Yes, now corruption reigns everywhere, and it is almost impossible to eradicate it in Russia and many other countries. Nevertheless, there are still those who remember what justice is, as well as their oath, and adhere to the words spoken in it.
