revolutionary justice

Revolutionary justice refers to the system of legal and societal measures implemented by a revolutionary government to address crimes and injustices committed by the previous regime or those opposing the revolution. It often seeks to uphold the principles of the revolution, prioritizing ideological alignment and collective welfare over conventional legal standards. This type of justice can include trials, public awareness campaigns, and punitive actions against perceived enemies, aiming to establish a new social order. While it may strive for fairness, it can also lead to abuses and violations of human rights if not carefully regulated.
