Standards of Justice in the International Criminal System

Abstract

Justice is relative with regard to human beings because cosmic justice is within the power of God Almighty, as He created the universe according to a balanced and equal system, and placed the scale of justice and its measure in all aspects of the universe, as the image of absolute divine justice is embodied in many verses of the Qur’an. The Holy Qur’an has decided a system for every matter and placed the system in a scale that achieves equivalence and equality, and thus social, economic and political justice is achieved.....etc. Therefore, one of the names of God Almighty is the Just. Accordingly, justice is not a characteristic of humans, as they are prone to error, and no person can achieve justice as God Almighty has decided in His perfect Book. Rather, man is commanded by God Almighty to achieve justice as stated in the Holy Qur’an * In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful * (And when you judge between people, judge with justice).
