Through his firsthand experiences, he reveals the struggles of marginalized communities across the world, from the over-incarceration of Indigenous Australians in the Central Desert to the violent grip of ‘rascols’ in Port Moresby’s squatter settlements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eHis journey continues through Cambodia’s killing fields, where he fights to hold the Khmer Rouge accountable;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto Afghanistan, where he works to rebuild a justice system ravaged by war.

Drawing on his experience as an Australian lawyer steeped in Western legal traditions, Livingston explores diverse global perspectives on justice, from Islamic and Confucian principles to Hindu and Indigenous traditions. He argues that justice is at its essence all about fairness. But concepts of justice and fairness vary from society to society, sometimes fundamentally. We can learn much from this diversity in improving our understanding of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith deep reflection and personal insight, Livingston shares the lessons he has learned—about trust, fear, mistakes, and the enduring human spirit. Ultimately, he believes that even small steps toward justice leave a lasting impact, shaping the path of history for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-02-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819535729\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-95-3573-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 171\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499519275148,"sku":"9789819535729","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819535729.jpg?v=1774538232","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819535729","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
