After Trappes: The Democratic Duty to Refuse Collective Blame

Pagina openen

While justice must establish individual responsibility, public debate must resist collective blame. Free expression remains essential, but citizens, media and political leaders share responsibility for distinguishing facts from fear and people from stereotypes. Education and critical judgment are indispensable safeguards against hatred, division and the exploitation of human suffering. This responsibility concerns public institutions and every citizen alike.
