Neither Victims Nor Executioners by Albert Camus

A postwar essay arguing that responding to oppression with more violence only perpetuates injustice; it rejects both passive victimhood and becoming an executioner, urging a politics grounded in moral responsibility, nonviolence, and solidarity. The author criticizes revenge and totalitarian methods, calls for the abolition of capital punishment and international cooperation, and advocates ethical reforms that protect human dignity without mirroring brutality.
