"In the rush for justice it is important not to lose sight of principles the country holds dear"
- Kofi Annan
About this Quote
This quote by Kofi Annan is a tip to not let our desire for justice cloud our judgement. It is important to bear in mind the concepts that our country loves, such as fairness, equality, and justice for all. We must not forget that justice is not just about penalizing those who have done incorrect, but likewise about securing the rights of those who are innocent. We must ensure that our justice system is reasonable and impartial, which it does not discriminate against any group or person. We need to also remember that justice is not practically punishing the guilty, but likewise about offering a sense of security and safety to all citizens. In the rush for justice, we need to not forget the concepts that our nation loves.
