Abstract:

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

Abstract:

What do medieval knights, suicide bombers and "victimhood culture" have in common? Betraying Dignity argues that in the second decade of the twenty-first century, individuals, political parties and nations around the world are abandoning the dignity-based culture we established in the aftermath of two world wars, less than a century ago. Disappointed or intimidated, many turn their backs on the humanitarian, universalistic culture that presumes our inherent human dignity and celebrates it as the basis of every individual's equal human rights. Instead, people and nations are returning to a much

Abstract:

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. Tho

Abstract:

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.

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 ba

The Court is required to take ‘appropriate measures’ for the protection of ‘the safety, physical and psychological well-being, dignity and privacy of victims and witnesses’. The provision places special emphasis upon victims of sexual or gender violence, or violence against children. It also departs from the general principle of public hearings in order to protect victims and witnesses. Where the personal interests of victims are affected, the

Abstract This book is a systematic and historical study of the nature and reception of Kant’s distinctive conception of dignity. The first chapter discusses contemporary interpretations and defends Kant’s concept of dignity as rooted in a basic capacity of reason for morality, and as an unconditional, all-or-nothing, and inviolable feature of all human beings, one that deserves universal respect. The next four chapters build on this systematic account by explaining how Kant’s notion of dignity was further clarified, or seriously misunderstood or neglected, in five significant contexts: the Bal

Abstract:

An account of what we know about the use by domestic courts of international human rights law is identified, based on the findings in this volume and earlier work on the use of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). From that, three aspects of the domestic functions of international human rights treaties are tentatively identified as particularly significant: international human rights law is only partly internationally-directed; domestic courts very seldom appear to be acting as ‘agents’ of international human rights law; and ‘human dignity’ (s

In both morality and law, it is still common to say that soldiers’ lives do not count for very much in assessments of whether or not a particular war or armed conflict is justifiably initiated and conducted. I argue that soldiers should be acknowledged to have the humanitarian right not to be killed unnecessarily. Also, I argue that military necessity is best conceived as a form of practical necessity. I argue for a strengthening of the principle of military necessity, so that a soldier’s life can only be taken if it is practically necessary to achieve a needed military objective. I then set o

Abstract:

When creating the norms of criminal law, the legislator should strive for their compatibility with the principle of human dignity while taking into account the ethical legitimacy of criminal law. This thesis is the axis around which The Ethical Legitimization of Criminal Law is constructed. Szczucki shows that criminal law is like a suit; to be a perfect fit, it has to be tailor-made. That is why he argues for three points of reference to guide moral evaluation of criminal law: first, the coherence of the legal system; second, the will of the legislator; and third, the virtues of citizens.

The first United Nations Sustainable Development Goal is to ‘ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality’. Protecting, promoting, and supporting early childhood development is essential to achieve this goal. The foundations of child health and well-being, and of adult health in later life, are laid down in pregnancy and the early years. So this review of evidence takes a life course approach, starting in pregnancy and extending to the age of 7 years, to include transition into school and to cover the ‘early years’.

Abstract:

Within the debate on assisted suicide and euthanasia, the arguments from autonomy and from the special value of life are often linked to human dignity in order to make the normative principles they defend more resistant against competing considerations. However, the resulting conceptions of dignity are usually presented as competing with each other; that is, either one spells out human dignity in terms of autonomy, or one explicates it in terms of the value of human life. As an alternative, this chapter offers a “combined approach”: It seeks to explicate dignity in terms of specific interpreta

Doing so, he combined three normative orientations writings as a political liberal, as a social democrat, and as a Catholic.

This approach is based on the principles of competition, privitisation, and absence of government intervention. In contrast, a human rights-based approach to higher education seeks to translate the human right to higher education and operationalise it. The principles of a human rights-based approach include integration and mainstreaming of human rights norms, accounta

Could suicide be not just a right, but a fundamental right, rooted in dignity? A linguistic triple threat complicates this question: problems about “rights,” problems about “dignity,” and problems about what counts as suicide.

Highlighting these principles, which freedom of religion or belief shares with other human rights, is important against the background of a growing perception (or rather: misperception) that freedom of religion or belief allegedly stand

Adjustment disorders and anxiety are two of the more common responses to stressors in palliative care. At one end of the spectrum, adjustment and anxiety are normal defences. However, when coping mechanisms fail these responses can become pathological. Judging when a response is pathological is based on two principles: the severity of symptoms and the extent of disruption of normal functioning or homeostatic adaptation. The intimate two-way relationship between physical and psychological symptoms in palliative care means that physical symptoms have to be well controlled and that psychological

Thus, in many ways, Haiti becomes an important and extreme representation of the black condition: on the one hand, a past of dignity and legendary greatness; on the other, the starkness created by the initial history of dispossession, subseque
