Why is it important for law enforcement to uphold human rights and the use of force?

The long answer for this is given in the War Crimes Tribunal, Trial #3. The short answer is, law enforcement is given a special right that imposes a higher standard of action; over that of an ordinary person. This implies a greater responsibility to act above the standards set for these same ordinary people and lastly it is to the law that most turn to for justice, and how can justice be served when it is the law that violates the basic rights of another. It sets adrift the rights of man to have its officers unhinged from the historical duties to which they swear an oath to serve. (loosely quoting the court).
