The Triangle of Justice

Fairness, Impartiality, and Equality

The triangle of Fairness, Impartiality, and Equality defines the essential qualities of justice, ensuring that it is applied consistently, ethically, and without bias. Together, these principles create the foundation for a just society.

1. Fairness: Fairness ensures that decisions and actions consider all relevant factors, treating individuals with the respect and dignity they deserve. It emphasizes proportionality, ensuring that outcomes align with one’s actions or circumstances.

2. Impartiality: Impartiality is the absence of bias or favoritism. It requires decision-makers to evaluate situations objectively, focusing solely on facts and principles rather than personal opinions or external influences. Impartiality safeguards trust in the justice process.

3. Equality: Equality ensures that justice applies to everyone, regardless of race, gender, status, or background. It upholds the principle that all individuals deserve the same rights, protections, and opportunities under the law.
