Full textAbstract:
Human dignity has become one of the central issues in the international discussion of human rights and constitutionalism. It attracted special attention with the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations and, more recently, scholars have sought to explore human dignity's legal meaning in more theoretical terms, as well as to survey and catalogue its different manifestations across a number of legal systems worldwide. This article contributes to the international debate about human dignity's legal significance by focussing on another dimension, namely the ways in which the concept is understood and used in European constitutionalism, where it has been deployed since the end of World War II and its importance has become undisputed.

The paper describes the origins and implications of the principle of culpability in Germany and Israel. The comparison shows that the principle of culpability is more closely related to human dignity in German law and that it carries more weight there than in Israeli law. However, the adoption of the Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty and the new General Part of the Israeli Criminal Code in the 1990's have increased the role and impact of the principle of culpability in Israeli law.

Full textAbstract:
Three principles: (1) revolve one’s representation around both the child-in-context and the theory of the case; (2) respect one’s child client whether present or absent; and (3) cultivate the right relationships with the child’s significant others – embody values central to representing children: dignity, voice, and story. At the same time, these principles both safeguard and imperil dignity, voice, and story, centrepieces of our service mission. Within each principle, dignity, voice and story collide with and contradict each other. These tensions, our determination to keep the child’s, not other adult concerns, paramount, and nonjudgment critically inform how we weigh children’s views in justice proceedings.

Full textAbstract:
Human dignity is the nature of a human being. It became a modus of human existence, which differentiates humans from other biological species. Human life and human dignity are declared the priority values in international conventions and declarations. Intrinsic character of human dignity was the forerunner for the development of the new multidiscipline named bioethics in the XX century. This article begins with the basics of international regulations in the field of human dignity, definitions, analysis of main characteristics and doctrines of human dignity, inherent values and constitutional values. Further the author stresses the importance of understanding the meaning of inherent human dignity in connection with manipulations with somatic rights. The author concludes that the lack of human life and human dignity evaluation is the main point of the core principle of inherent human dignity based on personal selfawareness. In this regard the article focuses on the statement that human dignity should be an absolute value based on bioethical principles. Then the author goes on to compare constitutional values and human dignity as a value. The research is concluded with the suggestion that inherent human dignity is a base of constitutional values in the particular field of legal relations. In addition, inherent dignity may be the framework of constitutional values.

Full textAbstract:
The basic assumption of the paper is that the Romanian curricula reflects the opportunities created at the social level to embrace the values–principle of human dignity and to defend it as a defining value of contemporary civilisation. Firstly, looking for the curricula where the value is a topic and secondly, to interview the graduate students on what they learned in their education on the human dignity. Only some of the higher education syllabi in the programmes such as political sciences, theology, law and bio-ethics for medicine or philosophy open some windows to understand the deep implications of the value in our concrete life. But, even here, the human dignity’s communication is incoherent. These programmes do not share a basic meaning and conclude into comparable recommendations. The human dignity’s communication is also out of a project, systematically conducted, reported and adapted to the community’s needs. The education must take action in doing it.

Full textAbstract:
The principle of human dignity is one of the universally accepted principles among nations and peoples, thus it is considered the most important human right. It is a necessary attribute for human being that cannot be separated since first breath in the womb of mother; and it continued even after the death. Hence the man deserves respect and dignity before birth in mother’s womb, in this worldly life and after death too. A person himself, as a bearer of this value of dignity, must respect the dignity of others in all his dealings. It a comparative study between the understanding of human dignity by Western philosophers and the Islamic Shrī’ah. Further there is an attempt to apply the both understandings on modern day medical cases; like abortion without any reason, cloning of human organs, blood transfusion without permission, artificial respiration after death, mercy killing by patient or medical staff, etc.

Full textAbstract:
The principal of human dignity, that respects the dignity of humanity and human dignity is the main foundation of human rights. It is an indicator of the humanity that distinguishes it from all creatures. Human Rights in Islam refer to the set of Islamic laws aimed at preserving the betterment of human in accordance with the nature of humanity for noble survival.This article aims to discuss the whole spectrum of the principle of human dignity in al - Quran al - Karim and the uniqueness of these principles through descriptions of related selected Quranic verses. The main description of the fundamentals of human dignity in this article is extracted from Surah al - Isra ' , verse 70 based on document analysis, through the books of Quranic Exegesis and the references which are related to human rights in Islam. As a result, the study shows that the foundations of human dignity described in this paragraph are interrelated and complement each other . Manifestations of human rights through this human dignity principle are collected within five ( 5 ) items and its privileges declared in al - Quran al - Karim is also exposed to the five ( 5 ) items . This also shows a significant difference compared to the principles of human rights proclaimed in international law or other religions as Islam put the Human Dignity as the main foundation of human rights.

 Karamah insaniah, iaitu menghormati martabat keinsanan dan maruah manusia adalah merupakan asas utama dalam hak asasi manusia yang dititikberatkan dalam al-Quran al-Karim. Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) dalam Islam merujuk kepada himpunan hukum-hukum syarak yang bertujuan untuk memelihara kemaslahatan manusia yang sesuai dengan sifat-sifat kemanusiaannya demi kelangsungan hidup yang mulia. Prinsip karamah insaniah merupakan indikator keinsanan manusia yang membedakannya daripada sekalian makhluk. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan secara menyeluruh mengenai karamah insaniah dalam al-Quran al-Karim, dan ciri-ciri keistimewaannya melalui analisis ayat-ayat terpilih yang berkaitan. Huraian utama mengenai asas-asas karamah insaniah oleh Allah s.w.t dalam artikel ini dicerakinkan daripada surah al-Isra’, ayat 70 melalui analisis daripada kitab-kitab tafsir dan rujukan berkaitan HAM dalam Islam. Hasilnya, kajian mendapati bahawa asas-asas karamah insaniah yang dinyatakan dalam ayat ini adalah saling berkait dan melengkapi antara satu sama lain. Manifestasi prinsip karamah insaniah dalam al-Quran al-Karim ini terhimpun dalam lima (5) perkara, dan ciri-ciri keistimewaannya yang dinyatakan dalam al-Quran juga dapat dirumuskan kepada lima (5) perkara. Hal ini membuktikan bahawa prinsip hak-hak asasi manusia dalam Islam adalah yang perbezaannya yang ketara berbanding prinsip hak-hak asasi manusia yang dicanangkan dalam undang-undang antarabangsa mahupun agama lain. Ini kerana, Islam menjadikan karamah insaniah sebagai asas utama HAM.

The Swedish health care system is a socially responsible system with an explicit publiccommitment to ensure the health of all citizens. Quality health care for all is a cornerstone ofthe Swedish welfare state. The 1982 Health and Medical Services Act not only incorporatedequal access to services on the basis of need, but also emphasizes a vision of equal health forall. Three basic principles areintended to apply to health care in Sweden. The principle ofhuman dignity means that all human beings have an equal entitlement to dignity, and shouldhave the same rights, regardless of their status in the community. The principle of need andsolidarity means that those in greatest need take precedence in medical care. The principle ofcost–effectiveness means that when a choice has to be made between different health careoptions, there should be a reasonable relationship between the costs and the effects, measuredin terms of improved health and improved quality of life.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>Superado está o paradigma metodológico positivista, que
chegava à norma tomando como pressuposto tão só o Direito
posto validamente, segundo a lógica de cima para baixo.
Face às plúrimas, e cada vez mais complexas, demandas
suscitadas pelas sociedades nacionais, e pelo próprio
Direito, e também em atenção aos impactos dos fatos e
forças regionais, supranacionais e internacionais,
surge no âmbito do pensamento jurídico o movimento
denominado póspositivismo, o qual incorpora outros
elementos ao Direito, como, v. g., valores,
princípios, políticas, diretrizes, procedimentos e
argumentos. Concebidos assim o Direito Constitucional e o
Direito da Constituição (formal e conteudisticamente),
impõe-se uma sua material interpretação - i. é., uma
interpretação comprometida com a realização de valores -;
uma leitura também de baixo para cima, uma leitura que
enxerga o Direito Constitucional não só na perspectiva ab
intra, mas também, naquela outra: ab extra. Isto se
justifica no fato de a Constituição ser concebida como
ordem de valores. Nesta platéia ocupam um assento de
destaque as Cortes Constitucionais, às quais cabe, por
último, decidir sobre a constitucionalidade das leis e
atos outros dos poderes públicos; se tais atos são
assimiladores das aspirações e valores individuais e
compartilhados intersubjetivamente. No que
especificamente toca aos Direitos Fundamentais,
impende reconhecer que o princípio da dignidade da Pessoa
Humana, com todo o seu vigor deôntico nos articulados 1°,
III, da Constituição da Rep. Fed. do Brasil de 1988, e
1°, da Constituição da Rep. Portuguesa de 1976, além da
dicção do artigo 1° da Declaração Universal dos Direitos
Humanos de 1948, tornou-se o epicentro do extenso
catálogo de direitos com status de fundamentalidade, na
sua dualidade: direitos, liberdades e garantias, e
direitos sociais, econômicos e culturais; e, também,
outros conceitos constitucionais de conteúdo aberto ou 0
indeterminado, os quais irradiam seus efeitos para toda
ordem jurídica subconstitucional. Mesmo em situações de
colisão ou conflito de interesses e pretensões nas quais
se impõe a aplicação do catálogo tópico dos princípios de
interpretação constitucional, máxime a proporcionalidade,
o princípio dos princípios, é um imperativo ético e de
consciência impor àquele que sofre limitação ou restrição
quanto ao gozo e exercício dos direitos o menor sacrifício
humano possível.<br>The positivist methodological paradigm is overcome. It used
to get to the norm taking as a presupposition solely the
Law validly observed, according to the logics of head to
bottom. Since we have many, and each time more complex,
discussions demanded by national societies, and by the Law
science itself, and also with attention to the impact of
facts and regional powers, supra and international, arises
related to the juridical thought the movement called
postpositivism, which incorporates other elements to the
Law science, such as, e.g., values, principles, politics,
directions, procedures and arguments. Conceived like that,
the Constitutional Law and the Law of the Constitution
(both in form and content), impose a material
interpretation - that is, an interpretation concerned with
values accomplishment -; a reading which is also done from
head tobottom, a reading which sees the Constitutional Law
not only from the ad intra perspective, but also from the
ab extra one. This is justified by the fact that the
Constitution is conceived as an order of values. In this
audience, a distinguished seat is held by the
Constitutional Courts, which are supposed, at last, to
decide about the constitutionality of laws and other acts
related to public powers, and if such acts assimilate
individual longings and values and are shared
intersubjectively. Concerning Fundamental Rights, it is
important to realize that the human dignity principle, with
all its deonthic values in the articles 1st, III of
the Brazilian Federative Constitution of 1988, and 1st of
the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic of 1976,
together with the article 1st of the Human Rights
Universal Declaration, became the epicentre of the large
catalogue of rights with fundamentality status, in its
duality: rights, liberties and warranties, and social,
economical and cultural rights; and, also, other open or
indeterminate contents constitutional concepts, which
irradiate their effects to every sub-constitutional
juridical order. Even in collision situations or interest
conflicts and pretensions in which the application of the
topic catalogue of the constitutional interpretation
principles, mainly the proportionality, the principle of
principles, is an ethic imperative and of consciousness to
impose to the one who suffers limitation and restriction
concerning freedom and exercise of rights with the lesser
possible human sacrifice.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to develop a fruitful conception of human dignity, a conception that can be used as a guiding moral principle when trying to resolve the conflict of rights. Specifically, the question that this study attempts to answer is what is a fruitful conception of human dignity and how can it be used to deal with concrete issues pertaining to human rights? Two reports from special rapporteurs propose two different courses of action regarding the implementation of the right to protection of property, and this is the conflict that the proposed conception of human dignity tries to resolve. To develop a conception of human dignity a broad conception of human dignity is initially developed, through the usage of a Rawlsian reflective equilibrium, and it is further developed through a combination of a reflective equilibrium, examination of the conception in relation to overall coherence with the human rights tradition, and a consequence analysis. The latter is done by utilizing a consequence analysis with the aforementioned courses of action being applied in a specific case, the case of Tanzania. By using a consequence analysis, a proposed conception of human dignity and a reflective equilibrium the conception of human dignity could be developed further and contribute to resolve the specific conflict of rights that could be found in the reports of the special rapporteurs. The conclusion drawn was that both of the proposed courses of action, regarding the implementation of the right to the protection of property and in relation to the proposed conception of human dignity, had desirable and less desirable consequences. Therefore, a third way was proposed that sought to bridge the gap between both courses of action, by combining elements of both, and to strengthen the condition-dignity for the parties affected.

Full textAbstract:
Alors que les flux migratoires « spontanés » sont en recrudescence depuis le début du XXIe siècle, la mer est devenue le théâtre d’un drame humanitaire qui semble sans fin. Sur toutes les façades maritimes européennes, les décès ou disparitions de migrants demeurent fréquents du fait de conditions de transport extrêmes, le plus souvent liées au trafic dont ils sont l’objet, ou de manoeuvres dangereuses opérées à l’occasion de leur arraisonnement. Au risque de perdre la vie en mer s’ajoutent des atteintes répétées à la dignité et à la liberté du migrant imputables à certains États côtiers de départ et de destination qui cherchent à interrompre sa navigation, y compris lorsqu’il manifeste un besoin de protection internationale. Si la lutte contre l’immigration irrégulière ou la criminalité organisée constitue un motif légitime d’interception en vertu du droit international de la mer, les actions (recours abusif à la force, refoulement, expulsion collective, privation arbitraire de liberté) et inactions (refus de coordonner un sauvetage ou de coopérer au débarquement des rescapés dans un lieu sûr) de certains États dans cet espace constituent une grave méconnaissance des droits de l’Homme, du droit des réfugiés et du droit relatif à la sauvegarde de la vie humaine en mer. Le comportement des acteurs privés du monde maritime peut également se révéler préjudiciable au migrant en détresse, rescapé ou passager clandestin. Le constat ainsi dressé impose de réfléchir à la manière d’assurer la jouissance et l’exercice effectifs des droits du migrant en mer. À cet égard, la présente thèse se propose de résoudre des problématiques insuffisamment ou non appréhendées par le droit positif : elles concernent la teneur et la portée du droit fondamental d’émigrer appliqué à l’espace maritime, la question de la licéité d’un refus de débarquement opposé à un migrant rescapé, ou encore l’incapacité apparente des juridictions supranationales à contrôler les pratiques d’États européens qui tentent de diluer leur responsabilité à l’égard du migrant en mer dans celle d’États tiers<br>While “spontaneous” migratory flows are on the increase since the beginning of the 21st century, the sea has become the scene of a humanitarian drama that seems endless. On all the European seaboards, the deaths or disappearances of migrants remain frequent due to extreme transport conditions, most often linked to the smuggling in which they are the object, or dangerous maneuvers carried out during their boarding. In addition to the risk of losing their life at sea, there are repeated attacks on the dignity and freedom of the migrant attributable to certain coastal States of departure and destination which seek to interrupt his navigation, including when he requires international protection. The fight against irregular immigration or organized crime constitutes a legitimate reason for interception under the international law of the sea; however, the actions (abusive use of force, refoulement, collective expulsion, arbitrary deprivation of liberty) and inactions (refusal to coordinate a rescue or to cooperate in the disembarkation of the survivors in a place of safety) of some states in this space constitute a serious disregard for human rights, refugee law and the law relating to the safeguard of human life in sea. The behavior of private users of the sea can also be detrimental to migrants in distress, survivors or stowaways. This observation requires to think about how to ensure the effective enjoyment and exercise of the rights of migrants at sea. In this respect, the thesis proposes to resolve issues that are insufficiently or not apprehended by positive law and which concern the content and scope of the fundamental right to emigrate applied to the maritime space, the question of the legality of a refusal to disembark opposed to a surviving migrant, or the apparent inability of supranational jurisdictions to control the practices of European States which attempt to dilute their responsibility with regard to the migrant at sea in that of third States

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO<br>A dignidade da pessoa humana é um dos fundamentos que todo Estado deve resguardar e preservar. A violação injusta de seus elementos gera irremediavelmente um dano moral que conduz ao ressarcimento da vítima, com o intuito de restabelecer a situação anterior à ocorrência do dano, colocando-a novamente no pleno desfrute dos direitos que lhe foram lesionados. No caso do Brasil, o dano moral tem reparação econômica constitucionalmente regulada, mas sua interpretação e aplicação judicial, em alguns casos, não respondem aos critérios doutrinários e constitucionais existentes, diante dos altos valores fixados a título de compensação e a inobservância dos elementos que compõem a responsabilidade civil, ressarcindo-se economicamente a maioria das demandas apresentadas. Em Cuba, encontra-se reconhecida constitucionalmente a dignidade humana como fundamento do Estado, sendo a lei primeira no sistema; não obstante, quando ocorre a ofensa de seus elementos, sua reparação se limita à retratação pública do ofensor, não se encontrando o reparo econômico como opção legítima para ressarcir o dano moral ocasionado, tornando, assim, escassas a proteção do indivíduo e a aplicabilidade do dano moral. As dificuldades que apresentam os dois países podem ser superadas a partir da valoração dos ordenamentos jurídicos como um todo, visando a reparação do dano extrapatrimonial desde a perspectiva do direito civil-constitucional, sendo possível em Cuba a reparação econômica do dano extrapatrimonial justificada nas leis e instituições que conformam o sistema; e no caso do Brasil, além da reparação pecuniária, pode-se adotar a retratação pública do ofensor como possibilidade inserida no direito de resposta.<br>The dignity of the human person is one of the foundations that every State must safeguard and preserve. The unjust violation of its elements irrevocably results in moral damage that leads to reimbursement of the victim, with the purpose of restoring the situation prior to the occurrence of the damage, putting him or her again in full enjoyment of the rights that were injured. In the case of Brazil, moral damages have regulated economic reparations constitutionally, but their interpretation and judicial application, in some cases, do not respond to the existing doctrinal and constitutional criteria, given the high values set as compensation and the nonobservance of elements that make up liability. In Cuba, human dignity is constitutionally recognized as the foundation of the state, being the first law in the system; nevertheless, when the offense of its elements occurs, its reparation is limited to the public retraction of the offender, not finding the economic repair as a legitimate option to reimburse the moral damage occasioned, thus making scarce the protection of the individual and the applicability of the moral damage. The difficulties presented by the two countries can be overcome by assessing the legal systems as a whole, seeking the reparation of extra-judicial damages from the perspective of civil-constitutional law, and in Cuba it is possible to obtain economic reparation for the off-balance-sheet damage justified by the laws and institutions that make up the system; and in the case of Brazil, in addition to pecuniary reparation, it is possible to adopt the public retraction of the offender as a possibility inserted in the right of reply.

Torture is in check, since the time period investigated, there was no punishment of
Public Servers accused of this crime. It was, before public bodies, which runs a
dictatorship of oblivion, this is that neither the Public Ministry and even the

Full textAbstract:
<p>In this modern period, societal and religious groups are strongly divided regarding the acceptability of abortion. Despite so many attempts by various groups to find a middle ground, the debate on abortion still remains largely polarized, at its most dramatic point with the extreme conservatives claiming abortion to be the moral equivalent of murder and the extreme liberals see it as devoid of moral import. And this polarization is due to the legal battle that continues to shadow moral discussions. An acceptance of an ethical nuance will here play as a concession on the deeply contested question of whether abortion should be a legally protected option for a woman, and to an extent blame for the continued crudeness which can be laid at the doorstep of a moral theory itself. Apparently, the ethical literature on abortion has focused almost exclusively on the tiniest moral assessment on whether and when abortion is morally permissible. This question is a crucial one indeed and its answer is desperately sought in this thesis by exposing the position of the Catholic Church.</p>

Previous issue date: 2010<br>A tutela jurídica contra o superendividamento como aplicação do princípio da dignidade humana nas relações de crédito O tema da presente pesquisa é a tutela jurídica contra o superendividamento como aplicação do princípio da dignidade humana nas relações de crédito. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é demonstrar se há uma tutela jurídica no direito brasileiro para proteger as situações do superendividamento com fundamento no princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi dividida em quatro partes. Na primeira discorreu-se sobre as mudanças ocorridas no Direito Civil devido ao processo de constitucionalização e sua influência sobre matérias de cunho privado. Na mesma parte foi demonstrado como o princípio da dignidade humana influencia a legislação ordinária e em que extensão ela pode interferir nos acordos particulares. Na segunda parte foi estudado, especificamente, o crédito, sua regulamentação na legislação, as taxas de juros. No passo seguinte, houve uma discussão sobre as transformações que ocorreram nos elementos da teoria geral dos contratos e os novos princípios decorrentes do princípio da boa-fé. Na terceira parte, a pesquisa centrou-se no superendividamento propriamente dito, seu conceito, seus elementos caracterizadores, sua classificação, regulamentação legal em países estrangeiros e a quais institutos ele está associado no direito brasileiro. Finalmente, no último capítulo, foi mostrado que é assegurada uma tutela jurídica, embora não haja um dispositivo legal específico concernente ao superendividamento, carecendo, portanto, de uma adequada proteção jurídica através de uma legislação específica.<br>Salvador

Previous issue date: 2015-12-17<br>With the neoliberal system that brings economic and financial instability, it is necessary to
analyze the principle of contractual balance as a way of social interpretation of contractual
relations so that legal businesses are guided by dignity and contractual justice. In 2015, Brazil
is experiencing times of crisis, which further encourages the consolidation of the principle of
contractual balance, to try to keep still alive contracts as sources of generation assets and jobs.
The work aims to study the emergence of the concept, the applicability of the principle of
contractual balance doctrine and Brazilian jurisprudence. The principle of contractual balance
came to bring fairness, balance, solidarity contracts, so they are not surrounded by abuse and
discrepancies. The reasoning of building model used is the hypothetical-deductive. The method
will be the conceptual abstractionism and jurisprudential method. The research will be
literature. At the end of the work it will be to demonstrate that the Constitutional Democratic
State comes relativize the will of autonomy at the expense of application of the dignity of the
person, situation that implies significant incidence of constitutional principles in contractual
harvest, which corroborates the theory general contract, which entails the application of the
principle of contractual balance in business relationships as a way to make up a balanced and
stable business in numerous types of contracts and legal forms.<br>Com o sistema neoliberal, que traz instabilidade econômico-financeira, faz-se necessária a
análise do princípio do equilíbrio contratual como maneira de interpretação social das relações
contratuais para que os negócios jurídicos sejam pautados pela dignidade e justiça contratual.
No ano de 2015, o Brasil vive período de crise, o que incentiva ainda mais a consolidação do
princípio do equilíbrio contratual, para tentar manter os contratos ainda vivos, como fontes de
geração de bens e empregos. O trabalho objetiva estudar o surgimento, o conceito, a
aplicabilidade do princípio do equilíbrio contratual quanto à doutrina e jurisprudência
brasileira. O princípio do equilíbrio contratual veio para trazer probidade, balanceamento,
solidariedade aos contratos, para que não sejam envoltos por abusos e discrepâncias. O modelo
de construção de raciocínio utilizado será o hipotético-dedutivo. O método será o
abstracionismo conceitual e o método jurisprudencial. A pesquisa será bibliográfica. Ao final
do trabalho, demonstrar-se-á que o Estado Democrático Constitucional de Direito vem
relativizar a autonomia de vontade em detrimento da aplicação da dignidade da pessoa, situação
que implica na relevante incidência dos princípios constitucionais na seara contratual, o que
corrobora na teoria geral contratual, a qual enseja a aplicação do princípio do equilíbrio
contratual nas relações negociais, como maneira de se perfazer um negócio equilibrado e estável
nos inúmeros tipos de contratos e figuras jurídicas.

The present study has the objective of limit the basic content of the human dignity principle, with the analysis of the dogmatic, doctrin and the jurisprudence about the theme. From a historic research about the constitucional principle, the writer will limit it s content and specifications in the brazilian constitucional law. We will study the limits, specially from the jurisprudence, when in confrontation with other principles. At this point, the possibility of considerate the human dignity has the important function of strenght the juridical caracter and not only programatic of the human dignity and it s content. We will also focus on the minimal content of human dignity that, if not observed, the Judiciary shall act. After all, the study will approach possibilities to the effectiveness of the principle at it s maximum point, specially face of the costs of rights, that, many times, are only frivolous argument used by state, trying to justify it s unlawful breach of the Constitution.<br>O presente estudo tem por objetivo delimitar o conteúdo básico do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, mediante as análises dogmática, doutrinária e da casuística no tocante ao tema proposto. A partir de um esboço histórico acerca do princípio constitucional, traçaremos seu conteúdo e especificações no seio da ordem constitucional brasileira. Serão estudados os limites, especialmente decorrentes da práxis jurisprudencial, quando em confronto com outros princípios. Neste ponto, a possibilidade de se ponderar a dignidade da pessoa humana tem o importante mister de fortalecer o caráter jurídico e não meramente programático do princípio constitucional bem como de seu conteúdo. Frisaremos, ainda, o mínimo intangível da dignidade humana, que, se descumprido, não poderá ser tido como aplicado o preceito constitucional, devendo o Judiciário intervir para a proteção do cidadão no caso concreto. Ademais, serão abordadas possibilidades para a efetivação do princípio em seu grau máximo, mormente frente à reserva do possível, que muitas vezes não passa de um argumento frívolo utilizado pelo Estado na tentativa de justificar seu ilegítimo descumprimento aos preceitos mais caros à Constituição.

Full textAbstract:
In theory, republican orthodoxy does not acknowledge the political dignity of any intermediary body between free and equal individuals, stripped of all particularism, and the sovereign nation. This is why, right up to the present, the French public debate has been marked by an entrenched suspicion towards all forms of «communitarism», and by the proscription of the very concept of multicultural politics. But have the policies actually pursued by republican France been consistent with the proclaimed principles? Is it genuinely possible to claim that cultural identities have never been publicly «recognised»? This multidisciplinary investigation proposes to address the ambiguous relations between theory and practice in the Republican management of cultural pluralism.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter presents an autobiographical account of Jason M. Thompson’s psychiatric treatment for depression in February 2005. The author evaluates his experience in terms of the extent to which his treatment either upheld or violated the axiomatic bioethical principle of respect for patient dignity. The concept of dignity is discussed with reference to the idea of autonomy and the ideas of social identity and meaning-making. The author outlines the challenge for clinicians in upholding the dignity of a patient whose capacity for autonomy is undermined as a consequence of mental disorder. Thompson derives a proposal, based on his own experience, that the dignity of the psychiatric patient can be upheld by redefining the cultural meaning of psychiatric hospitalization from asylum to retreat.

Full textAbstract:
The notion of human dignity has in recent years come under attack from sectors of the interdisciplinary and legal academic community as vacuous and of little or no utility in judicial reasoning. This author holds instead that human dignity is the sine qua non of all human life and correlated with certain inviolable human rights that speak to human beings as other than property, as having legal personality and the right to be heard. The notion of human dignity then serves, it is argued here, as essential guidance in judicial reasoning on issues of individual and group fundamental human rights. Neglect in honouring the principle of respect for human dignity in judicial decision-making serves to erode the democratic rule of law and the interests of justice as will be illustrated through examination in particular of the U.S. Supreme Court case of J.C. Hernandez et al v. J. Mesa Jr.

Full textAbstract:
Principle 10 provides guarantees for victims and witnesses testifying on their behalf. The participation of victims and witnesses in truth seeking processes is important in efforts to uncover the truth about the past. Many commissions have been mandated to gather victim testimony as a key objective and to provide victims with a forum in which to give account of the abuses suffered and to restore their dignity. When there is no testimony, commissions are unlikely to fulfill their broader mandates of establishing a historical record of past violations. After giving a contextual and historical background on Principle 10, this chapter discusses its theoretical framework and how commissions operate in practice in terms of witness protection.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the article is to investigate the relationship between the anti-corruption policy and the implementation of human rights in Poland. The following basic legal and political science research methods were used: axiological- normative, systematic, historical, comparative, institutional, structural-functional, formal-juridical methods. The article analyses the socio-political environment in which an anti-corruption policy in Poland was formed and the strategies for its implementation. Significant institutional changes of the system of anti-corruption agencies and legal regulation of anti-corruption activities of governmental authorities were addressed. The role of social supervision in the field of corruption control in Poland was analysed. Polish anti-corruption policy peculiarities were highlighted, which increase the risk of violations and the disproportionate restriction of human rights. Particular attention was paid to the analysis of the scope of competencies and credentials of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, and its place in the system of anti-corruption agencies. Based on the analysis of anti-corruption policy in Poland, it was concluded that human rights are one of the most important criteria for the success and effectiveness of anti-corruption policy implementation. The issue of balance between anti-corruption policy and human rights implementation in modern democratic states shall be solved via a system-based approach within the framework of constitutional principles of democratic states, namely: the rule of law, human dignity as a basic value of a democratic state, respect for human rights and the admissibility of their restriction only within the limits and forms permitted by the Constitution, the principle of separation and balance of powers, the supremacy of people.

"This paper seeks to examine the extent to which assessment embed social justice principles in affording students with different learning abilities equal and fair opportunities to develop their intellectual abilities and remove ignorance. The aim was to establish if forms of assessment recognised principles of fairness and equity to build students’ capacity to think critically and to make meaningful decisions that contribute towards a just social order. The study adopted a mixed method approach. Semi-structured interviews were used to enlist eight academic staff views on the matter. Data obtained from interviews were systematically sorted and categorised into common themes. A structured questionnaire was distributed and responded to by twenty students and data obtained from the instrument were analysed statistically. The study found out that some forms of assessment developed students’ abilities by promoting a balanced, and equal opportunities. The acquisition of social justice principles enhanced learners’ ability to think critically and to challenge social injustices and challenges that threatens their right to human dignity, development by instituting social change. The findings also demonstrate the importance of recognising students’ learning styles and abilities through using forms of assessment in a balanced and fair manner. This study concludes that students’ success after pedagogic encounters depended on balancing forms of assessment and developing their analytical thinking abilities. Such methodological skills and knowledge enable them to eliminate ignorance and social inequities. The study provides further insights regarding the use of assessment to cater for diverse students’ aptitudes to advance humanity. It can be concluded that. assessment creates critical thinkers who challenge practices and policies that threaten human dignity and perpetuate inequalities."

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the role of statistical knowledge for promoting and monitoring human rights. It is based on the assumption that skills to understand and analyze trends in quantitative data are needed to evaluate situations involving civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. For educators, the topic of human rights and statistics involves issues of value clarification, understanding and embracing the principles of human equality and dignity as well as skills for analyzing situations in human rights terms - topics that address the mind and the heart. Moreover, it lets students experience that statistical analyses play a role in understanding the pressing social and political issues of our time.

Full textAbstract:
The article provides an analysis of the impact of economic crises on improving regulation on the state mandatory social insurance in Latvia following the restoration of its independence de facto (1990–1991), as well as of the legal principles and case law related to social insurance. In examining case law, particular attention is paid to such concepts as human dignity, a state governed by the rule of law, and a socially responsible state. The subsistence minimum, which has not been calculated by the State, is recognised as being an unsolved problem, which, effectively, prohibits from discussing the effectiveness of the system of state mandatory social insurance in the area of social security when an insured event occurs.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring societal progress towards respect of civil, economic, social and cultural human rights is mainly about analyzing trends in mass phenomena that may contradict the purposes and visions of an open society which promises equity and fairness to all its members. To assess these trends requires statistical knowledge and understanding of multivariate phenomena. For educators, these topics address issues beyond teaching technical skills for analyzing data and concern matters of value clarification, understanding and embracing the principles of human equality and dignity - topics that address the mind and the heart. Moreover, students experience statistical analyses playing a role in understanding pressing social and political issues of our time. Exemplified by data from the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights and by a large multivariate data set on racial bias in European football we discuss potentials and implications of taking this topic to the classroom.

Full textAbstract:
Organ transplantation is a form of a specialty treatment aimed at saving, prolonging and improving the quality of life of gravely ill patients. Although the organ transplantation is a field of medicine, this procedure is connected to the need for respecting and protecting of a number of individual rights which makes it also the subject of the regulatory framework. In that context, the goal of this paper is to investigate the principles which lay the grounds for the procedure of human organs transplantation in Serbian law and to answer the question whether the provisions of Serbian Law on human organ transplantation allow the adequate implementation of these principles. In order to reach this goal, the author of this paper compares the national concepts on this matter to those adopted in German and Croatian law, as well as to those foreseen in the European supranational law passed by the Council of Europe. Following a detailed analysis of the meaning and the scope of influence of each of four major Serbian law principles of human organ transplantation on the protection of basic human rights and dignity of both the organ donor and recipient, which constitutes the major part of the paper, in the concluding remarks the author presents her recommendations for the improvement of the existing norms regulating this matter.

Full textAbstract:
When advocating for typically excluded groups in society, it is common for arguments to invoke general principles of universality and equality, referring to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to other instrumental documents of a developed society. Considering the wide scope of design fields and its influence on products, services for our quality of life, we can perceive the power and responsibility of design in the observance of those principles. The proposed argument will be categorized according to three perspectives. First, Design as a noun: by enriching the markets for products and services that meet people’s expectations and needs, design is promoting freedom of choice. The second, Design as a verb, is about processes of promoting the right (of people with disabilities) to self-determination and to active and informed participation in decision-making and creation processes. Third, Design as a theme acknowledges designers’ powers and emphasizes their social responsibilities, as activists of change. This paper offers a reflection on the different contributions and responsibilities of Design in promoting fundamental rights such as dignity, freedom of choice, and the right to personal identity of diverse audiences. This article is therefore a manifesto for the Right to Design, drawing on relevant literature, practical experiences, and case studies.

Full textAbstract:
The first two fundamental principles in the ASME Code of Ethics are that” engineers uphold and advance the integrity, honor and dignity of the engineering profession by: I. Using their knowledge and skill for the advancement of human welfare; II. Being honest and impartial, and serving with fidelity the public, their employers and clients…” These principles involve the concept of “the public good” and are properly part of engineering ethics — yet it is difficult to find a good place in the curriculum to address these principles. This paper will present the idea of using community service in engineering as a context for teaching this aspect of engineering ethics. The author has considerable experience in community service projects — related to engineering courses in which project work is required and graded, and also related to projects that involve purely voluntary efforts. Specific examples of projects that have been used will be given. The projects have also been presented as part of the larger Honor Concept that the author has been instrumental in developing for the School of Engineering at Grand Valley State University. “The habit of apprehending a technology in its completeness: this is the essence of technological humanism, and this is what we should expect education in higher technology to achieve. I believe it could be achieved by making specialist studies the core around which are grouped liberal studies which are relevant to those specialist studies. But they must be relevant; the path to culture should be through a man’s specialism, not by-passing it…A student who can weave his technology into the fabric of society can claim to have a liberal education; a student who cannot weave his technology into the fabric of society cannot claim even to be a good technologist.” Lord Ashby, Technology and the Academics

Full textAbstract:
Digital and representation: the second line and the forgotten castle of FiumedinisiThe Belvedere Castle of Fiumedinisi (ME) belongs to that historical heritage of Sicily characterized by abandoned and forgotten military architecture. Along the Ionian coast the defensive problem has been particularly felt over time, due to the proximity of the Turkish coast, the Middle East and the African one. The first defensive line was the coastal one, defined by principals placed on the sea in a strategic position for direct control of the coast. They were part of this group: the Maniace castle of Syracuse, that of Augusta, of Brucoli, of Catania, of Acicastello, the Tocco of Acireale, Schisò in the territory of Giardini, Capo Sant'Alessio, the Saracen Tower of Roccalumera, Capo Grosso in Ali , San Salvatore in Messina. Along the eastern side of the Peloritani mountains from Calatabiano to Messina, the island's defensive strategy also included a second line of fortifications, which controlled a more distant horizon from their position. These include the castle of Calatabiano, Taormina, Castelmola, Forza d’Agrò, Savoca, Fiumedinisi, Scaletta Zanclea, Santo Stefano di Briga, Matagrifone. Among them, the Belvedere castle of Fiumedinisi, at a critical distance from the village, so as to be in a state of neglect, among those listed is that which is in the worst conditions. In stark contrast to the dignity and history of the site and territory of Fiumedinisi, dating back to the Greek period. In this work we propose the survey of the castle with digital, photogrammetric technologies, Structure From Motion (SFM) and dense matching, to arrive at a 3D documentation and graphic drawings, considering that to date there are no significant scientific surveys and representations of this abandoned fortress.

Full textAbstract:
Under the current legal paradigm, the rights to privacy and data protection provide natural persons with subjective rights to protect their private interests, such as related to human dignity, individual autonomy and personal freedom. In principle, when data processing is based on non-personal or aggregated data or when such data pro- cesses have an impact on societal, rather than individual interests, citizens cannot rely on these rights. Although this legal paradigm has worked well for decades, it is increasingly put under pressure because Big Data processes are typically based indis- criminate rather than targeted data collection, because the high volumes of data are processed on an aggregated rather than a personal level and because the policies and decisions based on the statistical correlations found through algorithmic analytics are mostly addressed at large groups or society as a whole rather than specific individuals. This means that large parts of the data-driven environment are currently left unregu- lated and that individuals are often unable to rely on their fundamental rights when addressing the more systemic effects of Big Data processes. This article will discuss how this tension might be relieved by turning to the notion ‘quality of life’, which has the potential of becoming the new standard for the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) when dealing with privacy related cases.
