All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory; they have no power over the substance of original justice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the first place I remark that no human law is perfect in its construction or execution.
Any law which violates the inalienable rights of man is essentially unjust and tyrannical; it is not a law at all.
Law and justice are not always the same.
There is respect for law, and then there is complicity in lawlessness.
If, at the limit, you can rule without crime, you cannot do so without injustices.
It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.
Justice for crimes against humanity must have no limitations.
A law is a law, and it has to be respected.
What I perceive, is above all justice, where everyone has the same law.
The law is only our best approximation of justice, and the law needs constant revision.
