Question

1. What do you understand by the phrase justice must not always be done, but also seen to be done

Answer 1

• It means that justice should be open and public, we should not punish the guilty in secret and in isolation as we see in the movies…
• Transparency is not only necessary for the system to remain corruption free but also to remind everyone of the toll they have to pay while satisfying the victim that the state will not spare anyone who violates the law…
• It means that the punishment must be just and deserved, and seen as such.
• This means that the processes by which someone is judged must be clear and transparent.
