Which is a pillar of Procedural Justice?

Procedural justice centers on whether the method used to decide outcomes is fair, not just what the outcome is. Being impartial in decision-making means applying rules consistently and treating all groups equally, without bias or favoritism. That neutrality is what makes the process legitimate in the eyes of those involved; people trust that the rules were followed and that decisions weren’t swayed by personal preferences. While allowing a voice, being transparent, and ensuring fair processes are important aspects of fairness, impartiality is the foundation that gives the entire process credibility. When decisions are made neutrally, the other elements—whether someone had a chance to speak or whether the actions were transparent—fit more meaningfully within a fair system. So the most fitting pillar is impartiality in decision-making.
