Empowering ethical codes is vital in all branches of law because without these codes we would be unable to differentiate between right and wrong in our personal judgments. Lawyers can either be the most precious or the most precarious parties in a criminal case, depending on the state of their conscience. In such cases, immorality replaces morality, and legal norms become pawns in a game, the goal of which is to serve the economic interests of the lawyer.

Empowering ethical codes is vital in all branches of law because without these codes we would be unable to differentiate between right and wrong in our personal judgments. Lawyers can either be the most precious or the most precarious parties in a criminal case, depending on the state of their conscience. In such cases, immorality replaces morality, and legal norms become pawns in a game, the goal of which is to serve the economic interests of the lawyer. The lawyer becomes a greater threat to the truth when they support the establishment of special tribunals meant to hide the truth, such as was seen in Iraq, or when they receive payment in order to cover up genocide in places such as Myanmar and in the territories of the superpowers. Such lawyers then turn around and condemn the same crimes in places such as China. They speak out against crimes against humanity carried out by the Iranian government, but do not say a single word about crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide committed by the Saudi Arabian Israeli, American, French, and British governments. Here, doppelgänger attorneys do not present the true image of justice, but rather work to convince the international public that their brutal clients are innocent. The situation is even more complicated when we are dealing with very sensitive questions of international criminal justice under various criminal procedures directed by lawyers in the ICJ, the ICC, or in 'ad hoc' tribunals. What is the nature of integrity, impartiality, conscience, truth, and payments, and why are lawyers increasingly being sponsored and directed by outsiders? This book reveals the forbidden truth -- an embarrassment and moral weakness of conscience. The reader can hardly put the book down! Every library should obtain it.
