The perceived meaning of 'just' and justice have changed. Striving to be 'just' or God like in attitude and daily living gives us the template for justice.

If everyone believed it was right to kill each other to amuse ourselves,how would we know it was wrong! Who would tell us it was wrong?

We wouldn't know that it is wrong but that doesn't mean it isn't wrong. It would simply mean we are ignorant :) There is progress in morality just as there is in science. The UN Declaration would have been inconceivable two hundred years ago...
