And justice for All...

I’ve been thinking a lot about responsibility and justice. Responsibility to act – in either a humanitarian context or business context. If you cannot reasonably be unaware of the negative impacts of your actions, do you have a responsibility to act ethically, even in the absence of any explicit regulatory framework?

But then who decides?

It is like positive law and normative law, if I remember correctly – and the advantage of having the law be distinct from morality is that you avoid or limit moral judgement and rather need to make legal judgments.

So then is it better to tolerate hustlers working the loopholes rather than have such a strict or arbitrary judgment that casts too wide a net? Better the guilty go free than the innocent falsely imprisoned.
