DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE: THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

 This article provides a theoretical and legal analysis of the interconnectedness of the principles of 
justice and social justice, as well as their substantive differences. In the study, the principle of justice is revealed as 
a general legal, comprehensive and universal concept, and the principle of social justice is evaluated as a special 
criterion that serves the activities of the social state and social institutions. The author compares the essence, 
object, and scope of these principles and theoretically substantiates their speci�ic characteristics. The article �irst 
highlights the distributive, corrective, procedural, and educational aspects of the concept of justice, actively utilizing 
the scienti�ic views of foreign scholars and court presidents. At the next stage, it is scienti�ically substantiated 
that social justice is not merely a synonym for the concept of justice, but a phenomenon that ensures stability in 
society and manifests at the level of state policy. At the same time, a number of scienti�ic and practical conclusions 
were drawn during the study of the raised topic. In particular, although the principles of justice and social justice 
are interconnected and complement each other, they are different concepts in terms of content. While justice is a 
general legal principle aimed at creating an environment of legality, objectivity, and equality, social justice is a 
special form of justice that balances relations between the state and society and ensures social stability between 
individuals.
