Abstract
This article is intended to share a few thoughts, notions and questions about regulatory and governmental structures, both national and international, with regard to the development of global justice. It will highlight the issue whether or not local wisdom can contribute to global justice. In addition, this writing will discover legal problems that arise from the idea of global society and global justice by analyzing jurisdictional aspects and by explaining a little bit about dematerialization of crime, as it has been affected by the changing of communities’ behavior in global contexts after the era of computer and information and communication technology (ICT). Progressive development in Europe, especially regarding the European Union Law, will also be explored in order to describe the respect for fundamental rights in this region.
Highlights
It is important to recognize that the increase of interdependency between nations and citizens in modern global society urges to build new legislative structures that go beyond local, regional and national sovereignty
Otherwise we turn into a legal system that Bertrand Russel (1872-1970) characterized as “wherein law in origin is merely a codification of the power of dominant groups, and does not aim at anything that to a modern man would appear to be justice.”9 And I again refer to the Kenya-speech of former President Obama, when he said that a politics that is based solely on tribe and ethnicity is a politics that is doomed to tear a country apart
The establishment and legal powers of the International Criminal Court (ICC) depend on the subscription of individual sovereign states that ratified the Rome Statute, the ICC can exercise its jurisdiction in a case that is brought before the court on the own initiative of the UN Security Council or the initiative of the prosecutor
Summary
It is important to recognize that the increase of interdependency between nations and citizens in modern global society urges to build new legislative structures that go beyond local, regional and national sovereignty. This situation entails that there was no chance for local communities to survive the dominance of greater powers, it should be noted that this does not mean that there was no social-cultural diversity in Europe On the contrary, this may form one of the social, demographic and geological explanations behind the fact that in Western-Europe the creation of international and supranational economic and legal structures are relatively “” established. Unlike in Western Europe, the traditions, religions and wisdom of the indigenous groups in the East still have enormous influence on all day life, morality, social positions, behavior, legal positions and regulatory systems It raises the question if and how this local wisdom can be recognized, described, reached, validated, judged, connected with and incorporated in the present global governmental and legislative structures
