Oigeõiglus

Oigeõiglus is an Estonian term that translates to "legal justice" or "rightful justice." It encompasses the principles and ideals of fairness, equity, and the proper application of law within a society. The concept emphasizes that justice should not only be served but should be seen to be served, implying transparency and impartiality in legal proceedings.

The core of Oigeõiglus lies in the belief that all individuals are equal before the law and deserve to be treated without prejudice. This includes access to a fair trial, the right to legal representation, and the assurance that legal outcomes are based on established laws and evidence. It also suggests that the legal system should strive to correct wrongs and provide redress to those who have been harmed.

Furthermore, Oigeõiglus implies a system that is not only reactive in addressing legal transgressions but also proactive in promoting a just and orderly society. This involves the creation and enforcement of laws that protect fundamental rights and promote social well-being. The term often appears in discussions about legal reform, judicial independence, and the ethical considerations within the legal profession in Estonia. It serves as a benchmark against which the effectiveness and integrity of the justice system are measured.
