Satirical Illustrations Reveal How World Leaders See Justice

ADVERTISEMENT

Cartoonist Gunduz Agayev has no intention to stop. The cartoonist who has created several series of illustrations so far, has chosen again the theme of universal human rights and justice portraying Femida (Themis) in different countries.

“I have spent 15-16 days for this volume. I drew thinking and reading about the situations in these countries. These illustrations depict the real conditions in the countries.”

Previously he drew well-known illustration series, such as “Holy Selfie“, “Global Police” and “Just Dictators“.

ingenious. apart from identifying with, and taking sides, the drawings are very appropriate depictions of what's going on. the truth sucks, doesn't it.

But the thing is, everybody is too afraid of standing out, so nobody does anything

I think the one about Britain is lazy and not that satirical (speaking as a Brit), which is surprising given the hard-hitting nature of the other pictures. The Queen has very little actual power other than a figurehead, so it's surprising she should be the focal point. There are just so many other options you could have gone with - inequality, nepotism, capitalist exploitation / corruption, not to mention that the British legal system was forced upon the nations of its empire in varying ways, with a huge impact even today... It feels as though the artist has nothing to say about Britain and its politics, perhaps because they just don't know that much about it, or they simply assume it's not that bad? Some of the others were incredible though.

Yes and no. What's the whole 'All refugees are ISIS' thing with Germany? However, the artist is right about Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran As an Irishman, the one for Britain is fairly ok-ish. I mean, they have moved on a great deal from the days you were guilty until proven Irish (Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4)!

This is incredible. I love the symbolism and the frankness of it all.

Dude, I live 40 km from the border of Kaliningradskaja Oblast in a city where approximately 20-25% of people are Russian. There's a bunch of organisations getting financing from Russia, from religious to political and no one here is "pulling a plug" on them. We may not like them, we may not agree with their propaganda, but we are fighting against it with freedom of speech and tolerance to another's opinion, not by putting those who oppose our way of thinking to jail. So saying that Putin is so great to have the balls to stand up against the Evil West while he's spreading his own propoganda to ex-soviet and other European countries is just ignorant.

Spain's anodyne to the point it didn't deserve a image (I bet it would be a mix of Russia and Syria) were our deadbeat P.M. holds justice at gunpoint wile he rapes her (and on the backgrond, the Fuhrerette Merkel fapping)

Where's the Saudi Arabia version where they're hanging two men for being gay while Uncle Sam turns his back and ignores it while carrying a barrel of oil away from the public execution?

1) Disturbing! 2) The Queen has nothing to do with with how the government is run...should be the current PM.

That one from "Iran" should have a followup, where those two men holding hands are also hanged. Iran have executed thousands of homosexuals since the revolution in '79.

Can somebody explain "Germany" to me? I actually live in Mitteleuropa, I'm quite familiar with german politics... and really don't understand what the author wanted to address.

As an American I find the one about my country offensive. Not because it isn't accurate, but because so many others speak to the injustice inside their own countries where as ours speaks to the injustice our bureaucracy some times inflicts on others. My country is not without it's flaws but some recognition of the injustice that goes on here on a daily basis, the apathy expressed by many about our situation and the crooked politics that go on daily would be nice. Being humanized would be nice.

Eh. It kind of does show our apathy... it shows us trying to justify what we do to other countries instead of fixing our own problems... because we're apathetic to the things right on our front step. I get what you're saying, I'm just suggesting another perspective of the illustration that might satisfy you better.
