Seeking Global Justice

The global legal order today exists in a state of turmoil. It has proven incapable of

effectively addressing the social problems ailing humanity and securing justice for

everyone. This disruption afflicts both national legal systems and the international

legal order as a whole.

According to the Bah ' teachings, the legal order of the world can only

be rescued if it is transformed to reflect divinely-revealed principles, particularly

those teachings of global unity and oneness brought by the Revelation of

Bah 'u'll h (1817-1892), the Prophet and Founder of the Bah ' Faith.

This book investigates how that transformation can be brought about in various

domains of law by reviewing the key features and history of the current global

legal order and the many existing deficiencies of that order, weighing current

debates on how to address them, and determining the potential for implementing

reforms based on Bah ' principles.
