What does “obstructing justice” mean?

Obstructing justice means to deprive others of their procedural right to due process.

Why is obstructing justice against the Legal Principle?

Obstructing justice prevents the fair enforcement and decision-making when people are trying to work out if one of the other seven forms of aggressing have been committed.

Imagine you were wrongfully accused of aggressing by engaging in one of the serious violations described above. If your trial consists of a coin flip, rolling chicken bones, a duel, or some other unfair method not calculated to arrive at the truth, how well we define aggression is no help to you. We cannot achieve a civilized society based on the correct legal rules unless we both enforce the appropriate legal rules and then afford people accused of violating those legal rules a fair resolution of that accusation. We could also describe this right as the procedural right to due process. — Marc J Victor

The legal rules to give way to a fair resolution in determining whether the Legal Principle has been breached are referred to as procedural rights. Respecting procedural rights gives way to due process. Due process is a requisite for justice.

We first must have a justice system that satisfies our basic requirements of due process. — Marc J Victor
