外国人です。。。私の和訳はあっているでしょうか。添削をお願いいたします。（辞書形）

“Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice.” This fundamental principle isn't widely followed in Japan, however think about it for a moment. “Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice.”
「正義を確立するために法と秩序が存在する」この基本原則は日本で広く受け入れられていないが、ちょっと考えてみよう「正義を確立するために法と秩序が存在する」。

⇒２,３語順を変換し、句読点を追加することをお勧めします。
「法と秩序は、正義を確立するために存在する」。この基本原則は、日本では広く受け入れられていないが、ちょっと考えてみよう。「法と秩序は、正義を確立するために存在する」。
（面白いですね。強調のためですか、同じ引用を２回反復するのですね。）

お礼

強調は。。。笑う　そうね。。。この文章だけを見ると変よね！　lol..:o)

1. “Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice.” This fundamental principle isn't widely followed in Japan, however think about it for a moment. “Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice.”
2. “Justice” (fairness) is the goal, and we use “law and order” (rules and enforcement) to maintain it. This fundamental principle is used by judges in every society to a different degree. The more a society follows the fundamental principle, the more socially advanced (civilized) the country is considered. And the more a society devotes to “order” rather than justice, the more barbaric the country is considered.
3. “Barbaric” is used to describe the country, because if a society devotes more to “order” than to justice (fairness) it means that the society is serving a dictator's interest.
4. So how does Japan rank? At “A screening of the film I Just Didn’t Do It, held for invited members of the Committee against Torture. Viewing the film were about 60 people including three committee members, UN employees, and NGO personnel. The film is a story about a young man who is falsely accused of groping, held in long-term confinement, and put on trial. It received a considerable response, with statements such as, 'Is this true? And Japan is an advanced nation?'”
5. This response begs the question, since Japan no longer has an acting dictator (Absolutism of the Emperor), why is Japan still devoted more to “order” than to fairness?

全く問題ありません。

コメントですが、establishing を「確立する」と訳す他に、「成り立たせるため」と言う訳し方もあります。私はここでは「成り立たせるため」あるいは「成立させるため」の方が好きです。「確立する」は「to make something solid and/or valid」。「成り立たせる」は「to make something (widly) accomplished」。very subtle difference in this case, though.

お礼

I agree with the meaning you mention however I wrote 確立 because I thought it carried the meaning of being a foundation. For example:

確立→基礎となる物事
成立→物事が成り立つこと

So in this example:
Foundation = law and order
Result = fairness
