Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume explores the
reality of the principle of human dignity - a core value which is
increasingly invoked in our societies and legal systems. This book
provides a systematic overview of the legal and philosophical
concept in sixteen countries representing different cultural and
religious contexts and examines in particular its use in a
developing case law (including of the European Court of Human
Rights and of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights). Whilst
omnipresent in the context of bioethics, this book reveals its
wider use in healthcare more generally, treatment of prisoners,
education, employment, and matters of life and death in many
countries. In this unique comparative work, contributing authors
share a multidisciplinary analysis of the use (and potential
misuse) of the principle of dignity in Europe, Africa, South and
North America and Asia. By revealing the ambivalence of human
dignity in a wide range of cultures and contexts and through the
evolving reality of case law, this book is a valuable resource for
students, scholars and professionals working in bioethics,
medicine, social sciences and law. Ultimately, it will make all
those who invoke the principle of human dignity more aware of its
multi-layered character and force us all to reflect on its ability
to further social justice within our societies.
