The Monologue about Jamal Khashoggi, about judicial review of case and about a trust
There were messages about the beginning in Saudi Arabia of judicial review of case of murder in Turkey of Jamal Khashoggi.
The word "court" sounds authoritatively. If - court, it will understand...
Let's look at the article in Wikipedia about Saudi Arabia. It is absolute monarchy without parliament. Naturally, what free elections can be? There are several phrases about "municipal elections". Do not occur in article of a mention of free media and about jury.
The question arises: can we trust the conclusions of such a court in the matter of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?
In fact, any interested person has formed an opinion on this event on the basis of the flow of messages coming from the Turkey. The Turkish authorities have taken an almost ideal position in this case (which indicates their enormous insight, foresight and ability to look at many, many steps forward).
But one business - a flow of information, and another matter - a formal procedures.
The modern person feels respect (generally, correct) to formal procedures. Gathered, considered, discussed, drew conclusions.
Together with messages about the beginning of trial in Saudi Arabia we obtain also additional information. The U.S. Senate considered the question of Jamal Khashoggi murder.
Again, we are searching in Wikipedia. The U.S. Senate has some judicial functions.
The U.S. Senate gathered - considered - discussed - drew conclusions.
It is improbable that members of the U.S. Senate are the ideal people who do not have shortcomings.
But the trust to the people who passed through competitive free elections and close attention of free media, who are acting in society where the institute of jury is developed, nevertheless, is more, than the trust to that court in Saudi Arabia which began to consider the case of Jamal Khashoggi murder.
And if to speak more definitely, then in this particular case to the U.S. Senate the trust is, and to that court that in Saudi Arabia, - there is no trust.
