The World Wide Web Court of Public Justice is born out of the
original Human Family forum that has essentially been around for
thousands of years, or certainly since the first moment that two or more
people came together to determine and enforce the rules and laws that
govern their environment with the intent of affecting and communicating
just decisions. By definition, this is democratic self rule in action.
It is interesting to note when a person observes a situation or
behavior they believe is not in their best interest, the declaration
that is often communicated to the community is, "There ought to be a
law...". This is the beginning of the Human Family Forum of Public
Justice. The power of this forum is the power of public opinion and the
magnitude of this power is directly proportionate to the number of
informed people who are in agreement about the governing of their
environment and then to carry such agreement forward into a justice
system of law and order. When the general population of any one or more
communities or societies becomes passionate in their opinions regarding
justice on a large scale, leaders and governments can rise and fall and
entire cultures can be empowered or even neutralized by the forces of
the agreement of Public Justice in action. This is truly the collective
power of the people in action. The power of the Public Justice forum
through this evolutionary process of collective agreement and delegation
of authority has provided our traditional democratic institutions of
political leadership, law making, enforcement and justice systems we
enjoy today in the self governance of the Human Family.
Traditionally, the message of agreement regarding Public Justice has
been communicated by word of mouth, written documents, telephone,
telegraph, newspapers, radio, television, voting booths etc, and in
today's world these communications are transmitted by any number of high
speed voice and data transmission information technologies. The power
of the new Information Technology industry has especially come of age
with the multiple global satellite communications interconnecting audio,
video and data transmissions to the general public throughout the world
on a real time basis. This is especially true with the fairly recent
addition to the IT world of the grandest interactive communication
breakthrough of all, the Internet. As a world wide network, or web
of electronic media, the Internet literally provides a data, voice and
video connecting venue to potentially every member of the global Human
Family to share information and communicate their opinions. As the
means of communication have become more sophisticated, prolific and
accurate, the power of the Public Justice forum through agreement among
the entire global Human Family has become more relevant. With the
advent of the Internet coupled with credible global media / news sources
as our concentrated voice and expression of the human conscience, we
the people of the Human Family now have a forum like no other to insure
that the collective conscience of humanity provides a constant balance
to our global institutions of government.
This illustration divides time into five
hypothetical segments starting with the first Human Family Forum to
organize the initial political structures of democratic government.
Note the parallel Human Family's partnership with the information /
media sources available and growing in each time frame. With the
evolution of communication from word of mouth to the more
recent explosion of audio, video and data transmission by satellite and
the Internet, this partnership has now come of age. As a news and
information reporting system on behalf of the people, observing and
overseeing traditional government, the power of the media once seen as a
simple commentary is now a balancing force to provide traditional
government an objective conscience. Hence the birth of the ultimate
forum of governmental checks and balances, the World Wide Web Court of
Public Justice.
Political power is derived from the collective power of
the people delegated to elected individuals for the purpose of
creating, enforcing and carrying out the laws of the land. The elected
executive branch of government provides the overseeing leadership on
behalf of the people. Unfortunately, such delegated powers can and
sometimes do corrupt those who are given such far reaching public
authority and responsibility. When this happens, there may eventually be
unintended and dire consequences to the same general population who
delegated the power of their agreement to these political heads. The
power given to our political leaders includes the power to influence
those who make and enforce laws and the interpretation and adjudication
of our laws in the civil and criminal justice systems of the land. The
corruption of this critical infrastructure can easily happen in such
institutions where hidden agendas creep in unnoticed or the information
being provided through the local media / communications systems is
politically influenced by deliberate falsification, corruption or being
muted to the extent that the general population is deceived or left in
ignorance. In the end, it is possible for the very system that was
designed to be in the people’s best interests to become a politically
self actualized entity working against the society’s best interest.
The traditional institutions of democratic government do generally
provide for checks and balances within their organized structure to keep
the system clean of corruption; the "watchers", so to speak. However,
who watches the watchers? Considering that these public institutions
with such overreaching powers are intent upon making themselves
accountable to themselves; is this not a system that is in a state of
conflict? When a government institution becomes corrupt, does it make
sense that the corrupt will correct the corruption? This is clearly a
system without objectivity or any sense of a separate and distinct
conscience to marshal the issues of right and wrong. In any organization
of such power, it is impossible to conceive that it would self correct
under such circumstances, and in fact it would seem that such a system
devoid of a truly objective conscience, an outside system of checks and
balances, is an invitation to multiple forms of dysfunction and
unconscionable corruption.
The World Wide Web Court of Public Justice is an institution of
conscience born out of a long standing partnership between the Human
Family and the collective venues of mass media. Like the traditional
political institutions of democracy, the roots of the WWW Court of
Public Justice also originate from this foundational Public Justice
forum with a marked difference. This partnership is designed to provide
feedback on the performance of the Human Family's traditional
institutions of democratic government. If the results are positive,
then the feedback system says, "Well done!". However if the
investigative news / feedback during an active case finds that
corruption and self serving has entered in to produce unacceptable
results, then the Court of Public Justice must intervene to put the
errant institution back on track. In effect, under the watchful eye of
the World Wide Web Court of Public Justice, all is brought into the
Lumina Diem, the light of day, to be scrutinized and confirmed for
justice to be served.
