Louise Arbour: Justice Before Politics
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour argues that demands for justice and for the execution of international law should take precedence over political considerations in conflict resolution. "Some say: peace, first; justice afterwards. I've never heard anyone say: justice first, peace later. To subjugate justice to political processes is to compromise it. When we begin to say that 'justice must come into play at the right time,' we are, by definition, manipulating it."
