There are countless examples throughout history of the loss of human life due to the intellectual mistakes of rulers. The 20th century, including the world wars, was also a century of slaughter, with the Holocaust by Hitler, Stalin’s Great Purge, and Mao’s Cultural Revolution, among others. And today, in the 21st century, there is a large-scale massacre happening in Ukraine due to Russian President Putin’s unilateral view of history. Putin is the worst mass murderer of this century. No one can catch him or bring him to justice. Can today’s society, which has gone through many revolutions, truly be called a civilized society?Human history is filled with tragic examples of the loss of life due to political power, and even today, there are situations where political leaders make intellectual mistakes and cause suffering for many people.In particular, the conflict in Ukraine by the Putin regime has caused a serious humanitarian crisis. Many people have become victims of this conflict, and the international community cannot ignore the seriousness of the human rights violations. However, there are civilized societies around the world that support the rule of law and respect for human rights, and the international community supports these principles. International frameworks such as the United Nations, International Criminal Court, and International Human Rights Law exist to address such issues. Whether today’s society is a civilized one depends on our individual actions. We can respect human rights, support the rule of law, and promote peace and justice through international cooperation. It is also important for us to hold our political leaders accountable and urge them to respect human rights and the rule of law.

人類の歴史は、政治的権力によって多くの犠牲が出た悲しい事例で満ちています。そして、今日においても、政治的指導者が知的錯誤を犯し、多くの人々が苦しんでいる状況は存在しています。特に、ロシアのプーチン政権によるウクライナでの紛争は、深刻な人道的危機を引き起こしています。この紛争により、多くの人々が犠牲になり、国際社会は重大な人権侵害の深刻さを認識せざるを得ません。しかしながら、世界中で法の支配と人権を尊重する文明的な社会が存在し、国際社会はこのような原則を支持しています。国際連合、国際刑事裁判所、そして国際人権法などの国際的な枠組みが、このような問題に対処するために存在しています。現在の社会が文明社会であるかどうかを決定するのは、我々個人の行動にかかっています。我々は、人権を尊重し、法の支配を支持し、国際的な協力によって平和と正義を促進することができます。また、我々は、自分たちの政治的指導者に責任を求め、彼らが人権と法の支配を尊重するよう促すことが重要です。
