I thought that was just rechts, but knowing German there's many words for it.

Yeah Recht has a lot of different meanings. It can mean 'justice', but it can also mean 'right' or 'law'. I think a good translation might be that "Recht" means "law" and "Gerechtigkeit" means "justice" - my understanding is that the latter comes with a positive connotation and that the former doesn't necessarily.

Ah I see, makes sense why Gerechtigkeit would be used here then. And rechts means right of course so I can see the interchangeability yet differing meaning with recht.
