CAPITALIZING ON JUSTICE IN CONDITIONS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

Abstract

The phenomenon of good governance is in a close and indispensable connection with a qualitative and effective justice system. The adversarial discussions between the opponents are oriented towards prioritizing either human rights or justice. Which of the phenomena can be temporarily sacrificed: good governance or justice? Can a justice in the process of transformation be an effective tool to capitalize on good governance in general and human rights in particular? Can good governance be leveraged in the absence of an independent judiciary? These and other questions are examined in the paper, in order to appreciate the interaction between good governance and justice in the conditions of contemporary society. The article is developed within the Project “Modernization of governing mechanisms focused on the protection of human rights”, cipher 20.80009.1606.15, in the Scientific Research Laboratory “Compared Public Law and e-Government”, Law Faculty, Moldova State University
