A standard of decency, which is not necessarily reflected in legislation,
is present in social awareness. It is often forgotten, but felt in harmful actions
of administration toward the development of an individual. Invoking the right
to justify the legality and fairness of such behavior when the law is used as a moral
alibi – this jurisdictive treatment of morality, or stepping too far into the ethical
areas with the standards of the law should be considered a dangerous attitude. The
author justifies a thesis that the ethical dimension of the law must be sought in its
humanizing, rather than surrendering to its totalitarian interpretation.
