RESTORATIVE JUSTICE: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JUS AND LEX

Anna Kolesnyk, Chair of the NAAU Human Rights Committee, Ihor Svetlichny, Chair of the Restorative Justice Section of the NAAU Human Rights Committee

What is the right? We are accustomed to the fact that the law is a set of universally binding rules (norms) protected by the state. But is it really so? Where does the token “right” come from and what does it mean?

So far, the punishment itself does not achieve the goal of correction. There is a more effective way to ensure the interests of both the victim and the offender. This is how restorative justice works.

In many nations of the world there were practices of resolving situations, which according to the law are considered an offense (crime). Traditionally, people have understood responsibility as a process derived from the word “answer”. The low quality of legal norms leads to typical errors in judicial practice, and the contradictory application of the law requires legal improvement of the general principles (principles) of restorative justice.

What do the terms “law”, “law”, “justice” really mean? There is no doubt that through law the various practical interests of people receive an effective tool for realization, and the human community is an effective means of maintaining the general discipline of coexistence.
