Abstract

<p>The article has addressed the problem of understanding justice. The traditional formula “to render to everyone his own” (<em>suum cuique tribuere</em>) was taken as the point of departure. The discussion leads to the conclusion that natural justice applies to every person, and that every person is entitled to natural, innate, fundamental human rights. The traditional formula with regard to law should be understood as a principle-norm, a principle of law that imposes an obligation to render to everyone what is due. It is the duty of authorities (which manage the social life) to implement this obligation. The innate natural rights enshrined and safeguarded in positive law will be combined with the statutory, precise, strengthened norms of this law, and thus enhanced (since it is a natural obligation, a moral and legal obligation, of the human being not to violate these natural rights) with the prohibition of violating them by others.</p>

Summary

INTRODUCTION

It would seem that the issue of justice and its meaning is sufficiently recognized and discerned. Despite the huge, enormous multitude of works that can fill many libraries, the issue of justice – including its understanding – is subject to debate, especially depending on the philosophical position taken. It must be stressed, even more strongly, that this is a very contentious category. S the problem of justice, including its understanding, constitutes one of the central philosophical and legal problems. It is a classic subject, still valid, inherent in the law. C And further, with regard to justice, this author writes: “[...] it must not be forgotten that its operation is based on arbitrary, irrational values and that these values are opposed by other values, which cannot be completely ignored by the sense of justice”.10
