The right to dignity is now recognized in most of the world's
constitutions, and hardly a new constitution is adopted without it.
Over the last sixty years, courts in Latin America, Europe, Asia,
Africa, the Middle East, and North America have developed a robust
jurisprudence of dignity on subjects as diverse as health care,
imprisonment, privacy, education, culture, the environment,
sexuality, and death. As the range and growing number of cases
about dignity attest, it is invoked and recognized by courts far
more frequently than other constitutional guarantees. Dignity
Rights is the first book to explore the constitutional law of
dignity around the world. Erin Daly shows how dignity has come not
only to define specific interests like the right to humane
treatment or to earn a living wage, but also to protect the basic
rights of a person to control his or her own life and to live in
society with others. Daly argues that, through the right to
dignity, courts are redefining what it means to be human in the
modern world. As described by the courts, the scope of dignity
rights marks the outer boundaries of state power, limiting state
authority to meet the demands of human dignity. As a result, these
cases force us to reexamine the relationship between the individual
and the state and, in turn, contribute to a new and richer
understanding of the role of the citizen in modern democracies.
