Ubi societas, ibi ius! Grenzeloos onrecht voor de rechter

Boundless Injustice Before the Court in a Changing World Order

What does justice mean in a time when the gap between the poorest and the obscenely rich continues to widen, thousands of people die at the external borders of Europe, and the stance of the Dutch government on geopolitics reveals a selective political concern for victims of war crimes? And how should a judge determine their position on related legal issues, such as the regulation of international migration and the international arms trade?

Galina Cornelisse, Professor of Courts and Transnational Justice, explores in her inaugural lecture the concept of injustice without borders and the role of the judiciary in a changing world order. Central to her argument is the relationship between the judiciary and politics. When reflecting on this relationship, an abstract and theoretical perspective must be complemented by an everyday approach—one that pays attention to the meaning of injustice and its connection to current forms of power and governance.
