The Bestiality of human justice.part three

The eradication of slave trade undoubtedly the most complex task of global civilization was orchestrated with artless ease and this was something that could have taken the world with the British input of egalitarian justice thousands of years to  nip it in the bud.It could only have come from a country that took it a thousand years to shape her homegrown or domestic concept of justice.Take a look at British Legal system heavily distinguished from the rest of the world.Society with no robust framework for the concept of justice and effective administration of institutional justice cannot try nor attempt to achieve such a feat that was exceeded by industrial revolution and mechanisation of the machines.Such country requires robust classification in the administration of justice,system of customs and precedence and continuity .It also requires her own domestic legal model and I think the British own the law of equity in which they formalised and innovated to correct the critical injustice embedded in the infrastructure of common law a legal model borrowed around the world.The empiricism of continuity of British legal system based on the system of precedents and robust customs not based on ancient custom but based on the discretionary codification or absence of codification,a distinct feature and unique contribution of phenomenal judicial decisions undertaken for a millennium. Take a look at the checkered antecedence of British legal system that was instrumental in forming the bulk behemoth of the opinions and refined vision of slave trade eradication:
1.English law has evolved since 1066 without any major changes whatsoever.Two factors account for this uniqueness:
I.That england has not been conquered since 1066;
Ii.That the operative function and stability of the act of parliament and case law was guarranteed beyond old age.
2.Accusatorial procedure does not apply in both civil and criminal cases and countries where inquisitorial method is used the court plays prominent role in questioning the witnesses unlike in Britain to stay neutral and hear both sides.
The capacity of the court's apparatus in the historic correction of Common laws and replaced with equity was brought to bear in the international community where Britain as a global superpower played a leading role in shaping global sense of justice in the most ideal direction.The eradication of slave trade was a smooth sail and it was largely due to egalitarian political justice since congress of 1815 even through both wars that the world has had a global political stability albeit pocket of intermittent wars and crisis across the world.Infact I blame America for most of those wars especially the supremacy fight Old Soviet or Russia and America that was flexed for seventy years as the British plays the mother to international community . Sometimes misleading the British to venture into the irrational wars like Kuwait and Iraqi wars of the 90s not excluding the current Ukraine Russia war.Had the stabilisering influence not sustainable we risk much higher global crisis than we currently facing .
The contract of thoughts should not be given to nations or individual persons with bestial track record in the treatment of fellow men or fellow nations.
