In his inaugural address, Jacques Claessen sets out why he sees restorative justice – unlike criminal justice – as an emancipated and mature approach to crime, both in terms of distributive and procedural justice. Drawing on the Golden Rule (‘Treat another as you would like to be treated yourself’) and the accompanying view of mankind and the world, he shows that the retribution of evil with evil that is central to criminal law, should be replaced by the retribution of evil with good as much as possible. In this context, he sees an important role for restorative justice.
