Procedural Justice——Value of Due Process of Law

As a thought, due process of law embodies the western legal tradition, contains the caring of the human destiny itself and the pursuit of the justice ideal. The thoughts of justice often connect with the natural law. As a system, due process realizes the thoughts of natural justice through procedure, and establishes the theory of rule by law through procedure. The value of due process embodies the protection for the human rights, not only the procedural value relative to the entity but also its independent value.
