The question of whether punishing wrongdoers is fundamental
to securing lasting peace deeply relates with numerous past experiences that
the global society went through such as the case of Libya, Egypt, Kosovo,
Sierra Leone, and etc. There are several points that need to be addressed when
discussing this motion. Firstly, what is the true meaning of justice? When
there is a violent dispute that each side requires total victory, the winning side
has the tendency to justify their actions and create their own standards of
justice and apply them to their situation. Also, in the process of achieving
victory, should it be gained diplomatically? Or is the engagement of the
military sometimes justifiable in order to protect the citizens? Secondly, the
question of whether diplomatic approach is effective becomes an important point
of contention. The past experiences both informed dictators and wrongdoers
around the world how to act accordingly to the conditions suggested by the
international society, therefore making it harder to implement such diplomatic
methods. The opposition believes that this approach is indeed effective, and a
great example of that is the unanimous decision of the UN Security Council to
directly intervene in the case of Qaddafi, where multiple atrocities took
place.
