Abstract

Based on my study (in Dutch 1972), a paradox of civil disobedience has been formulated: civil disobedience in a totalitarian system is quite difficult to organise and not without personal danger, but can easier be justified, morally as well as legally; while contrarily civil disobedience in a democracy and under a rule of law, can be organised quite easily, but can be much more difficult to justify morally and legally. In this article the paradox is applied to present-day forms of public protests and civil disobedient actions. Civil disobedience in a democracy must be aimed at protection of the democratic rights of co-citizens and hence must be principally non-violent.
