Justice is not a concept of God. Otherwise there would always be justice in the world.
Also, justice is relative to the conditions where you live in. Genocide and war are normal behaviors for people living in certain conditions.
Finally, if there is absolute morality the human race would be extinct. We survive because we adapt to the conditions where we live, just like any other animal. Believing in God is just a fancy alternative to accepting our ignorance. Rather then accepting we don't know much about the world, some people rather say somebody else knows, and he designed this world in a clever way, except for murder, genocide and war, which are caused by humans... 
1-Justice is a concept of God. By the second statement I am seeing that you agree that there is no always justice in the world. However, how did you come up with such conclusion? You have to have a previous standard of justice to compare what is happening in the world right now. The absence of justice leads one to beleive that the world is unjust, however, we need a first concept 'justice' to be able to compare the two. Even the absence of justice and our unhappiness toward it, verifies/confirms that there is such thing as justice outside ourselves.
You confuse justice with free choice. I am also always surprised when people complain that 'God does not let people live freely but there's always rules to go by..' and on the other hand they say that ' why is there so much pain in the world?'
Well now, one has to make up his mind. If you want people with free choice painful things to others will always happen. Free choice allows people to do whatever they want to do. In other words don't complain about pain when you also are asking about free choice.
Personally I think free choice is a great gift from God, and I am glad people get to have it ( even if this includes massive amounts of pain people inflict to each-other based on their choices) but again, based on my experience, it's also free choice that leads somebody to God and that is exactly what he looks for, people who would come freely to him, not under dictation, not in a dictatorship.
2-Genocide and war may be normal in certain conditions based on the culture, however, it does not mean it is right ( and it also varies to contexts and odd-one-out situations,specific accounts that need to be analyzed and understood.)
3-Finally, adaptation helps with survival skills and we all need to have them. The idea of morality is adapting in a NOBLE way so to speak.
If not, it is when we behaved in animalistic terms that we would be extinct. Purely animalistic behavior would mean that we could act like spiders eating our mate, or some other animal eating the flesh of our babies which we could do all that (under certain conditions again). The idea of people being more than animals comes with the idea of people having a spirit,of rising above the animal world. And that is what God is trying to convey all along.
