Justice loses meaning when selective
The article focused on how international justice loses its credibility when applied selectively, as judicial institutions like the International Criminal Court are politicized—used to hold accountable officials from weaker states while officials in influential countries, especially Western powers, are immune from punishment. The court is seen as a symbol of justice when it punishes weaker states but faces criticism and questions of legitimacy when it targets Israeli officials or allies of major powers. This undermines the idea of equal justice, erodes the international legal system, and fuels the belief that the law only applies to the vulnerable. The article argues that this approach damages public trust in international institutions, promotes chaos, and constitutes a fundamental undermining of the very concept of justice.
