Towards the Most Great Justice

Edited by Charles O Lerche

A new world order is coming into being, confronting commonly held assumptions about identities, loyalties, and our collective future as citizens of this ailing planet. Among these perplexing changes, the challenge looms large to preserve and extend justice when faced with continuing unfair distribution of wealth, shameless exploitation of natural resources, inequitable relations among members of the international community, and the impotence of the great military powers to protect victims of war. The nine contributors of this book put justice at the heart of the debate about the new world order: as a personal quality, in basic social relationships, in national life; as well as in the relations between States.
