Knights in the big world of American TV series

"Why can't you kill them?" Aphrodite asked.

This is not an argument, but a very serious question.

"They are not worthy of death!" Barry shouted very sadly and angrily. At least under American law, human trafficking does not require death...

Human trafficking is a global criminal activity, and governments around the world are actively taking measures to combat this type of behavior to protect the basic rights and safety of citizens. The following is a detailed discussion of the ways and strategies of different countries in dealing with human trafficking.

European countries have also taken active measures to combat human trafficking. Germany clearly stipulates in the German Criminal Code that child trafficking can be punished by up to 10 years in prison, and those who abduct children for money can be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.

years in prison. The UK has launched a large-scale Operation Five Tone II aimed at rescuing victims and cracking down on trafficking networks.

and increase public awareness of prevention. At the same time, the British government also established the Child Safety Center (ceop) to specifically combat the crime of child trafficking. The European Union enacted new laws in 2010, expanding the definition of human trafficking, such as forced begging, slavery, and coercion.

Engaging in criminal activities, harvesting human organs for profit, and illegal adoption, etc., and at the same time, the penalties have been increased.

In Asia, countries also have different efforts to crack down on human trafficking. Japan treats human trafficking and abduction as the same crime in the "Japanese Penal Code" and sets up different crimes based on different trafficking subjects. South Korea in the "Korean Criminal Code"

The "Indian Penal Code" stipulates that kidnapping and abduction of women or children under the age of 10 will be punished by law.

In Africa, some countries have also enacted strict laws to combat human trafficking. For example, Sierra Leone has enacted the "Anti-Human Trafficking Law", and child traffickers may be sentenced to 5 years to life imprisonment. Kenya has enacted the "National Elimination of Gender-based Violence"

Action Plan", which includes combating child abduction and child trafficking. Persons involved in crimes such as child abduction, trafficking or forced labor may be sentenced to

The person is sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. Nigerian law classifies the crime of abduction within the framework of "human trafficking" and treats it as a criminal offence. If the amount involved is large or results in disability, death and other consequences for the victim, the person may face life imprisonment.

South Africa classifies crimes involving child abduction into the "Human Trafficking and Slavery" chapter, and criminals involved in child abduction may be sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 years to life.

In the United States, human trafficking is considered a serious crime and is subject to severe legal sanctions. At the federal level, the Trafficking Persons Prevention Act and the Trafficking in Persons Act of 2000 are the main laws to combat human trafficking. The former provides for the crime of child trafficking.

The maximum sentence is life imprisonment without parole terms, and the corresponding fine amount is also stipulated. The latter is especially aimed at human traffickers involved in sex trafficking, labor and other crimes, and may also face life imprisonment penalties. In addition, states in the United States have also enacted

respective relevant laws

, to combat human trafficking. For example, in California, the kidnapping of a minor can result in a prison sentence of 11 years. If the kidnapping is accompanied by other crimes, several crimes will be punished. The trafficker may face more than 20 years, or even life imprisonment without parole.

Penalties, even the death penalty. If a child dies during the crime, you will face more severe penalties. In addition, the United States also implements the "Angel Law", which stipulates that in cases involving missing children, if the trafficker does not know whether the victim is dead, they will

will face fines and imprisonment.

Yes, in most countries, there is no death penalty for human trafficking!!!

At least here in Barry, he doesn't have this concept.

Yes, it's counter-intuitive, right? But it's true.

In Barry's concept, these people are indeed considered worthy of death.

But this is not the case in Aphrodite's mind. After all, the world under the rule of the Pantheon is basically slavery!

Under this system, the law will be very strict!

Of course, human trafficking is not a big problem in Pantheon... After all, under slavery, human trafficking is a necessity! Every city-state needs slaves to complete the most primitive production, and slaves are very important in their society.

of production materials.

But this is not a big problem. In the Pantheon system, the gods are supreme, and they are the makers of the law and the individuals with the greatest interests. The law ultimately protects their interests, not the general public.

Whoever the gods say is guilty is guilty!

There is no need for a trial at all.

Not to mention, the crimes these scum committed against these girls are beyond what ordinary humans can accept. Aphrodite believed that she was doing justice for heaven, and she had no problem killing them.

"Do you know what these people have done?" Aphrodite asked seriously.

She might not care about a mortal questioning her, but it was easy for her to do a good deed and then be questioned, which made Aphrodite very unhappy.

"They abducted these poor girls and forced them to sell their bodies. That's fine, but do you know the final fate of these children? Once they get sick or unable to work, these scum will kill them without hesitation.

And dismantle their bodies and sell the useful parts! Oh, isn’t this kind of treatment of people as livestock not enough of a death sentence in your world?”

Aphrodite tried to reason.

"No! Of course these people are bad guys, but dear lady, it's not up to us to decide their fate."

"Who decides?" Aphrodite asked.

"Law! Their fate should be determined by the law. Only the law can judge a person!" Barry said categorically.

Aphrodite was stunned.

She is now sure that the child in front of her is indeed very innocent, and even the innocence makes people feel a little distressed. He regards the law as too sacred. But to the gods of the Pantheon, the law has no meaning at all.

Because that thing is just something they randomly broke out in order to maintain their rule.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For example, the gods do not need sacrifices at all. That thing is of no use. Apart from wasting manpower and material resources, it is basically useless. Neither does the gods.

Those believers will be noticed because of a sacrifice, and they will not rush to fulfill human wishes just like a wishing machine just because of a sacrifice.

But the Pantheon still made laws, and mortals must sacrifice to them on time...

The essence of this thing is just to tame mortals and let them always remember the greatness of gods.

In this atmosphere, the law is not something inviolable at all, at least to the gods... Well, the same is true for the rulers of various city-states... Well, the same is true for the dignitaries of the city-states... Well,

The same goes for slave owners...well, the law is only for poor people and slaves!

If gods want to kill people, do they still need legal consent?

This is really a huge joke.

"These girls are the victims, and they are the ones qualified to decide the life and death of these scum!"

Aphrodite liked the smell of Barry very much, and she was making a last-ditch effort to hope that the child would recognize her.

After all, although it is exciting for the Overlord to force his bow, Aphrodite's aesthetics are not as rough as other gods. She prefers the integration of spirit and flesh. This is the romance of the God of Love!

Barry raised his head and looked at the girls with angry faces. He could understand the hatred of these girls, but...hatred could not solve any problem.

"Because the law is fair, both to the victims and to the criminals."

Barry said the truth very seriously.

But obviously, those girls can't accept such things. Maybe this is because people can't empathize with each other.

After these girls were deceived from their hometowns, they have been beaten, violated and intimidated. They even saw their companions killed by those scum with their own eyes. They were full of hatred for those scum, but what about Barry?

He knew that these scum were hateful, but he didn't have any feelings about how hateful they were. He just looked at the whole thing from a mere bystander, or even from a higher position.

In fact, everyone is right about this.

The law is a tool for us to maintain justice, but the law is by no means equal to justice itself.

The original intention of the establishment of law is to maintain social order. Taking criminal law as an example, many people believe that criminal law should focus on punishing crimes. For example, if a person kills someone, then the criminal law should deprive him of his life, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. However, many people

What is ignored is a more important function of criminal law, and it is also a core value of criminal law: [It is necessary to protect citizens in the face of crime, and at the same time, protect citizens in the face of public power, and avoid the abuse of public power that harms citizens' rights and interests.]

In reality, it is difficult to achieve absolute justice, and relative justice is the norm.

Justice is relative.

We cannot draw perfect justice, but we can draw relatively perfect justice because there are realistic limitations.

Does the law necessarily represent justice? The answer is of course no. Even on the definition and understanding of justice, it is difficult for everyone to agree. How can the law, a certain, stable and universal system of rules, represent an undecided system?

What about things? The primary purpose of law is to achieve an order. As for whether the value represented, embodied or pursued by this order is justice, that is another question.

However, it is obvious that this problem is an ancient one. Law and justice have always been linked by people. However, there is no natural connection between the two. Since human beings formed society, they have been pursuing an orderly life. In order to achieve

Order, in addition to (between) violence and morality, there is law. People have ideals for life, and in social life and politics

An ideal that governs life is justice. What can people resort to if they want to realize the ideal of justice? Some people rely on their own words and deeds, some organize armies to launch wars, and some preach and lecture and write books. Among them,

Some people have proposed the realization of justice through law, and converted this point of view into an ought judgment sentence, that is, the law should (certainly) represent justice.

Law is a tool that people resort to in order to realize an ideal or value. In modern society, due to the democratization of legislation (including direct democracy and representative democracy), people's pursuit of justice can (and may)

It is reflected in the law. Therefore, the statement on the table will of course turn it around and say that the law must (should) represent justice. However, after understanding the previous content, the answer to the question of whether the law must represent justice is still as mentioned at the beginning,

Of course it's negative.

So no one on either side of the scale is wrong.

Aphrodite and the girls thought they were right in lynching, and they thought they were right.

And Barry is right to look at the problem from a social perspective. After all, law is the greatest common denominator of society.

Under normal circumstances, Barry should win.

After all, the greatest common divisor is the greatest.

But the premise is that there is no one here who can ignore all this.

That's Aphrodite!

After finding that she could not convince Barry, Aphrodite gave up decisively.

She is the Goddess of Love, not the God of Justice, let alone a God who is good at eloquence and persuasion. She cannot rely on her eloquence to convince the boy in front of her.

But fortunately, the God of Love is not a rigid god, and her moral bottom line has always been very flexible.

"Okay!"

Aphrodite opened her hands and said to Barry: "Come on, child, come to your sister's arms, let's not talk about these boring things."

Barry's originally firm eyes fell into confusion in an instant.

"Okay, ma'am..."

Quite polite.

Watching Barry put down his guard and slowly walk towards Aphrodite.

The other girls also smiled and began to twist their bodies slowly.

The atmosphere in the entire room suddenly evolved from bloody to extremely ambiguous.

It seemed as if the surroundings were enveloped in a pink atmosphere.

"Don't think too much, let's do something fun."

Aphrodite said with a charming smile.

Barry nodded slowly and took off his hood, revealing his true appearance.

To be honest, Barry is actually very handsome.

Just a bit baby-faced.

In the past, Barry was very thin, and because of his low self-esteem, his whole temperament was a bit evasive and he didn't look very imposing. Overall, he looked like a little guy who had been bullied for a long time. But since he got the Speed ​​Force.

He is still thin, but not weak.

The muscles have also become more defined. Although he is not a big muscle, he has everything he should have.

Because of his confidence, his whole temperament has changed and his waist has straightened up. Coupled with his somewhat weak baby face, he is definitely the favorite of all kinds of old women.

Weak appearance, strong body.

This is a top-notch little puppy!

Aphrodite burst into laughter at this.

But it would be bad to be outside and keep monitoring Iris inside.

In her sight, Barry rushed in, then didn't do anything, just stood there, and then suddenly started to take off his clothes!!!
