Is there justice anywhere?

The world today claims it is very civilized and most countries of the world will claim to uphold the fair trial of all accused.  An accused person is presumed innocent until undoubtedly proven otherwise.
       In the lead of the most civilized countries today is the united state of America. However, with the recent happenings in this super country, one can not but ask ; Is there absolute justice anywhere.
      How could a person be assassinated by a country without even first indicting him especially when that person is a citizen of that country. These are things that happen in other less civilized countries and should not be happening in a civilized country such as the USA. According to a report on prison planet, Anwar al-Awlaki who was assassinated in Yemen by the USA operatives was not even indicted. He was simply ordered to be killed by the government despite the fact that there were doubts whether he had any operational role in the so called 'al-Qaeda'.  What assurance can anybody then have that he cannot be a victim of this kind of justice. 
The us government will usually just say they have very good intelligent report. But should this report be enough to order the killing of a person? Even when the report has sometimes been shown to be heavily flawed in the past like the case of the-intelligence used to start the Iraq invasion.
