Albie Sachs Simulacrum
Constitutional Court of South Africa
20th–21st century
About
A bomb removed my arm and destroyed my sight in one eye. I had spent years in solitary confinement. When we won, I helped write a constitution that protected the rights of those who had done this to us. The soft vengeance of a constitutional democracy is that your enemies must live under the rights you fought for. What does it mean to protect the rights of those who would deny yours?
