Globalization affected every facet of life. Third world countries are most affected in various aspects. I want your opinion about its effect on Justice in third world countries
I think that globalization produce a new level of justice, WTO, IMF, ICJ, and others. What I reed about that, Stiglitz, Ziegler, etc., showed that this international level of justice is asymmertical and only help to maintain a certain ditribution of the values.
Globalization is a great event in human history. Globalization is not just related to economic issues; it creates an expansion of the human mind. In this e-age, people all over the world exchange views and thoughts by the grace of Internet. This augmentation of vision leads to an awareness of the award of justice that is more appreciably and more humanely delivered in developed countries. Justice in successful democracies is backed by enlightened movements that prod the lawmakers to enact better laws. Actually, the judges decide a case in according with the laws enacted by the legislatures. Globalization brings us close to what goes on in other countries, and it is no denying the fact that globalization has a great impact on the delivery of justice.
I think both the globalization and justice should have to understand in broader terms. As we know, the globalization is a process which promote grater level of integrations, interactions and interdependencies among and between societies and cultures of the globe. So, the justice should not be limited to its legal meaning as the globalization contributes to many areas of the society including economic, legal, social and cultural aspects. It doesn't provide enough justice to the cultures of the many countries especially to the so called third world countries.
While globalisation has had a great impact on economic development its impact on justice is far from satisfactory. First you need to consider a few questions and research in relation to these.
1, What is the definition of 'justice' and what is its scope
2. Are you looking at the independence of the judiciary in the country or the efficiency of the judicial system or both?
3. Are you looking at the impact of international conventions and treaties eg. on human rights on justice for the people of a country?
I believe that Harshvardhan Singh has shared some excellent articles.
I echo the collective view in the articles cited in that justice requires political will. In most developing countries that espouse democracy it is a highly 'disciplined' democracy that does not bear criticism and debate even in the face of glaring mismanagement and corruption recognised and investigated internationally.
Another issue is the treatment meted out to immigrant workers. Even with the best labour laws enforcement of the rights of immigrant workers is pathetic .
On the aspect of war crimes, take the eg. of Cambodia and the hybrid Court investigating the human rights violations perpetrated by a few top octogenarian leaders during the Pol Pot era. I would hardly consider that satisfactory or sufficient to assuage the trauma of 2 - 3 generations of Cambodians and others.
So I would submit that the concept of Justice in the globalised era is not on par with economic development.
The usual philosophical suspicion is that human morals and law will generally fail to keep up with the pace of economic development and technological change. The result is then likely to be great concentrations of wealth and power not subject to reasonable constraint. That at least is he general character of the possible dangers: that justice will get lost at the rear of the crowds jumping on the bandwagon.
Adding understanding to questions delivered by Sandeep Kulshrestha, then I really apologize when I tried to answer with any limitations as follows:
The globalization is a situation where the impact of the acceleration and the human need for advances in technology and information progressively eliminate restrictions on distance, place, space, and time. There is no right or wrong in addressing the conditions that exist because it is a reality and is a consequence of us and for us all.
What impact can be felt directly or not, it is very relative, but in principle we should be able to make it happen for the creation of prosperity for the welfare of all.
On the other hand, for the creation of the welfare of all, human beings inevitably encouraged and required to uphold justice. Meanwhile, the justice must be achieved by realizing the coordination and collaboration of integrated, continuous, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Moreover, fairness in creating rules and regulations that organize all interests can only be realized if there are no conflicts of interest and be able to anticipate all possibilities for any changes that will be more and more faster and dynamic.
We as human beings are cultured indeed shall endeavor, and the free enterprise of human beings in thinking and doing to meet their needs will create a civilization in accordance running times that more and more faster and dynamic, then it must be realized with the wisdom, where the absence of togetherness wisdom, that in a sense completely will not be realized. It is none other, human pace in its efforts, certainly there remains a limit, and as smart-smart humans anticipate it still will not reach perfection.
So clearly here, that justice even in previous eras, or in the era of globalization, or in the future era, can only be achieved with the existence of togetherness, and togetherness mutually beneficial only and can only be realized if we realize that life is not forever, and we realized over the helplessness of human in consummate perfection, except with the power and the will of God Almighty.
With the understanding of the challenges ahead, and to learn from the events of the past as empirical facts and no longer as hypothesis, to prove to the experts that indeed every human effort and everything else will answer the Almighty of God.
Therefore, to avoid disputes that brought chaos and even the destruction of a civilization that already exists become as the warning to all of us, and on the other hand, there really is no problem that cannot be resolved, if we face together. Therefore, keep trying in the manifestation of welfare much better, and faced with wisdom based on faith in God Almighty in making rules and regulation policies with high sense for the creation of a just order of life to helping each other on the earth that have the diversity that is not the same in any place.
