J de Lange: Nelson Mandela Lecture
The challenge was how to achieve both justice and reconciliation, not justice or reconciliation. A collective justice; a social justice; a restorative justice that seeks to address the collective to deliver to the collective that is aimed at nation building and reconciliation.

J de Lange: High-Level Segment of the Human Rights Council
The victims of human rights abuses in whose name we all claim to be speaking, demand from us a global human rights system predicated on values of universal justice and human solidarity. The 1993 World Conference on Human Rights held in Vienna affirmed that extreme poverty is a violation of human dignity, which undermines enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms. The South African human rights policy is founded on four core principles of respect for promotion, protection and more ... [highlighted result]

Ladies and gentlemen, the third aspect of transformation namely of the procedures, processes, rules (and structures) of our justice system seems to get forgotten all the time. However, the transformation processes have to permeate not only aspects of diversity and the value system of our society but also the structures, processes, rules and the procedures of the legal system.

J De Lange: North West Attorney's Council Annual General Meeting
Ladies and gentlemen, in recent months we have all been exposed to and participated in the debate around the issue of the transformation of this country's legal services sector. However, the issue about the legal services charter, for me, is not just about the transformation of the legal profession. The pool of disadvantaged poor needing legal services is too large, merely to rely on the legal profession to provide such services. [highlighted result]

The South African model is strongly founded on restorative justice principles, with important elements of retributive justice retained. For want of a better phrase a restorative justice model or social justice model, being an innovative hybrid of all those essential elements of both the reconciliation and justice models, which were found to be applicable to our peculiar set of circumstances. In my view, South Africa, in 1994, began a journey to deal with the pathology of her past with the ... [highlighted result]
