Justice Committee
Committee Description
The Justice Committee holds on the non- negotiable mandate of safeguarding the integrity and strict fairness of all academic encounters. For any student joining its ranks, the primary mission is to uphold the mandatory adherence to competition guidelines by all participants; this necessarily involves the critical task of adjudicating disputes and impartially reviewing formal protests as they arise during events. Ultimately, this body is charged with maintaining competitive order, issuing the final resolutions and applying requisite disciplinary measures to ensure every debate unfolds within a framework of rigorous respect and absolute procedural justice.
Topics
TOPIC A: The Nuremberg trials
Right after World War II, the Nuremberg trials prosecuted leading Nazzi officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity. They pioneered international criminal law, marking the first time individuals were held accountable for mass atrocities. Yet, controversy remains: the trials were conducted under post-factum laws by the victorious Allied Powers, raising debates about "victor's justice" versus genuine, impartial legality. Should post-conflict justice prioritize legal precedent, or must moral accountability take precedence to truly deliver justice
TOPIC B: Socrates vs Athens
In BBC, the Athenian court tried and sentenced the philosopher Socrates to death for impiety and corrupting the youth. Socrates, who defended his pursuit of truth and virtue through dialogue, became an enduring symbol of intellectual freedom. This historic case forces an examination of the fundamental conflict between individual freedom of thought and the necessity of societal stability. Can a society truly claim to be democratic if it suppresses intellectual dissent in the name of preserving order?
