How does justice lead us to respect the rights of others?
In theory, justice is based on fairness. Injustice should have equal consequences. By respecting the rights of others we are upholding the consequence for said injustice. Again theoretically, this should provide amends and a sense of closure for those for whom who's respect was violated. Through justice we are respecting the rights of others by acknowledging (in the United States at least) an individual's right for the 'inalienable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. Ideally, when the respect and rights of others are compromised, justice should prevail.

When are governments allowed to override our individual liberties?
In a western democracy like the United States for example, citizens have many rights that keep state and the national government out of one's affairs. There is also a large number of civil rights that the US Constitution protects and rightly so. In cases of a national emergency, however, the Constitution allows the US president, for example to suspend a good deal of individual rights. With that said, a president can for example the writ of habeas corpus. Any time such rights are suspended, however, the US Supreme Court will review the validity of any civil rights suspensions by either the Congress or the executive branch.
