Application of justice by National and Local Spiritual Assemblies
The National and Local Spiritual Assemblies and all Baha'i
institutions should deal with justice in all affairs. Justice is the basis of
humanity's existence. Justice is the pillar of the community of human beings.
If affairs are not handled with justice, there will be chaos. Those who deviate
from God's laws should be punished and even if needed their voting rights
should be taken. In these instances National and Local Assemblies should not
hesitate at all. Particularly, when those who have deviated are well-known in
the community. If ordinary people realize that the Assemblies treat all people
the same it will make them hopeful and aware.
