The article analyzes human dignity as a legal category and fundamental natural human right. The place and role of the right to human dignity in the system of constitutional rights of Ukraine and Germany are compared. The scientific substantiation of the right to human dignity in Ukraine and Germany, its normative protection in both countries, is investigated. The approaches to defining and interpreting the right to human dignity in the practice of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany are compared. The relationship between the right to human dignity and other human rights is determined, as well as the sphere of protection of this right. In particular, there are parallels between the right to life and the right to human dignity, and their relationship is determined. It is substantiated that the human life and dignity of each person enjoy the same constitutional protection regardless of the duration of the individual's physical existence. It is established that among Ukrainian scholars there is no unified view of the right to dignity as a fundamental natural right. The right to human dignity in Ukraine is enshrined in the norms of constitutional, civil and criminal law. For the most part, the protection of the right to human dignity is correlated with the right to the protection of honour and goodwill. The right to human dignity and honour are not clearly distinguished. The legisla- tion of Ukraine does not contain a legal norm defining the concept of the right to human dignity. The case-law of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in this area is not sufficiently developed and does not constitute a proper legal framework. In Germany, the right to human dignity is a decisive and fundamental human right that is fundamental to all other rights. Human dignity is the supreme fundamental value and the root of all fundamental rights. The right to human dignity enshrined in Article 1 of the Constitution of the Fed- eral Republic of Germany defines it as an absolute value, which means that it cannot be restricted by any other norm, even by another fundamental right that follows from human dignity.

Full textAbstract:
This article applies comparative law tools to portray eight significant aspects of the constitutional right to human dignity in Germany and Israel. The elements considered are: the constitutional status of human dignity; the nature of the right; its effect on other constitutional rights; its scope and definition; waiver of human dignity; human dignity after death; negative and positive aspects of the right; and the right to asylum. The textual foundations of the respective constitutional guarantees are as different as human dignity's core meaning. In Germany, such guarantees are held to be absolute, immune to restriction, and therefore quite narrow in scope. In Israel, the scope of the right is much broader, but it is subject to limitations when placed against the public interest. Still, based on the findings of our comprehensive comparison, similar dynamics can be identified in Germany and Israel The constitutional coverage of both absolute and relative principles is broad, as are the constitutional lacunas, which are those dimensions of constitutional law neglected by the written constitution.

Full textAbstract:
We consider the problem of human dignity right as one of the key elements of the system of personal (civil) rights and freedoms of man and citizen. We state the constitutive importance of the right to human dignity in the structure of the legal status of an individual. We demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the institution of human dignity. We give examples of legislative protection of the right to dignity of an individual from a number of branches of Russian and foreign law. We reveal the incompleteness of both the doctrinal understanding and the legislative regulation of personal rights, including the right to the dignity of the person, which, as a general principle, figure only as objects of protection from state and legal means (mechanisms). In addition, these rights have their potential for the full realization of the personality in the process of social and legal life, and therefore it is necessary to create wider regulatory opportunities for this legal institution. The achievement of the goals of a correct understanding and regulation of the right to human dignity (as well as other personal rights) will be facilitated by the use of an interdisciplinary scientific approach in the process of scientific and practical research of this subject. We offer arguments that indicate the relevance of an interdisciplinary study of the right to human dignity.

Full textAbstract:
Human dignity plays a central and constitutive role within the German and Dutch criminal justice systems. It influences not only the overall approach to, and accepted purpose of, punishment, but also the types of sanctions that are typically doled out, the setup of their prisons, and the conditions in which prisoners find themselves once in custody. Although human dignity is not the paramount value in the American criminal justice system, this article contends that recent criminal justice reform efforts implicate human dignity into system practices to a greater degree than ever before. While the reform efforts are prompted by a concern for efficiency and efficacy, policymakers are increasingly relying on research that indicates that more humane and individualized treatment of offenders is a key component to achieving desired public safety outcomes. The article starts with a brief discussion of how human dignity became a central value of the European system and contrasts this with the historically weaker sway human dignity has played in the American system. It then demonstrates that the principle of human dignity is gaining influence through recent legislative reform efforts in the United States as well as changes in correctional training and supervision practices.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the problems of enforcement of the right to human dignity in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the modernmodel of realization and protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms is an integral attribute for sustainable development ofsociety, and the right to dignity as a determining human right occupies a central place in the system of constitutional law.A special attention is drawn on the double dimension of human dignity in the Constitution of Ukraine, its significance and specialplace in the system of constitutional law.The legal views of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in terms of knowledge and substantiation of human dignity, its key rolein the development of the human rights protection system, the tendency to change approaches to the interpretation of this concept overthe past 20 years have been analyzed.An attention is also focused on the inexpediency of using a positivist approach during interpretation of such a right category ashuman dignity.The author takes up the position that understanding the right to human dignity is essential to the development of natural legaldoctrine of human rights.The problem of exercising the right to human dignity is to develop own approaches to understanding human dignity, and so thatthe adoption of quality decisions by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine.The multidimensional understanding and grounding of human dignity has been analyzed by the Federal Constitutional Court ofGermany, which considers the human dignity as a fundamental right.
 It is also noted that the use of such practices is a consequence of the globalization approach to the constitutional interpretation.Primarily, the human dignity accomplishes the function of restricting the legislator in matters relating to the protection of the absolutelyuntouchable sphere.A conclusion was drawn that all acts of the state must comply with it, this is a criterion for the country’s compliance with thesupremacy of law. Human dignity is the main objective of the constitutional state.

Full textAbstract:
The article studies the right to human dignity through the prism of German legal doctrine. During the research, a wide range of general scientific and special legal methods of scientific cognition has been used, in particular: methods of dialectical logic, comparative legal and system-structural methods. The paper analyses domestic and German legal resources on the right to human dignity, in particular the works of S. von Puffendorf, I. Kant and G. Durig. As a result of the study, the author states that the German legal opinion formed the fundamental doctrine of the right to human dignity. This doctrine began in Germany, back in the Renaissance. For the first time, it was systematized in the works of a German researcher S. von Puffendorf. The article illustrates that human dignity is revealed in the German doctrine of fundamental human rights through a number of characteristics. The right to human dignity is the foundation of social value and respect for human beings. It prohibits the conversion of a person to an object in state procedures. Human dignity is not only the individual dignity, but also the dignity of a person as a species. Everyone possesses it regardless of its characteristics, achievements and social status. It also belongs to someone who cannot act reasonably because of his or her physical or mental state. They do not lose their human dignity even through "unworthy" behaviour, for example, by committing any crime. No one can be deprived of human dignity. Attention is drawn to the fact that German law does not intentionally give a definitive definition of the right to human dignity. It merely defines a comprehensive list of requirements for the protection of this fundamental human right. The reason for this is that any definition cannot guarantee the absolute protection of this human right. In other words, such a normative definition of this human right will inevitably lead to such a situation where it cannot protect the human dignity of an individual or even be the legal basis for its restriction. In this part, the German approach to the definition of the right to human dignity differs significantly from the domestic approach, since for the national science and practice of lawmaking it is quite logical to take a different approach, in particular to formulate clear and comprehensive definitions of legally significant phenomena and categories. It has been established that, according to the German doctrine of fundamental human rights, human dignity must be protected in any way within any relationship. It was found that the German Nazis had a negative influence on the German doctrine of the human dignity. This is due to the fact that the protection of human dignity was not built around what was allowed to be done, but about what was forbidden under any circumstances. Keywords: human dignity, a fundamental human right, a human rights doctrine, a state, legislation.

The present study was part of a large research project on human rights. This paper focuses on attitudes towards labour rights of German adolescents (N = 2244) The labour rights under investigation are the right to work for everyone, the right to equal pay for equal work, the right to working hour limitations, the right to paid holidays, and the right to support for the unemployed. Although human rights in general are considered as universal, egalitarian and indivisible, attitudes towards these rights can be positive, negative or ambivalent, and may depend on the context. The aim of this study is to investigate adolescents’ attitudes towards labour rights, and to examine whether and which contextual factors are related to their attitudes towards labour rights. The contextual factors under examination were: human dignity, religious beliefs, the socio-political perception of society, and socio-demographic characteristics. The findings show that labour rights are very positively valued, except support for the unemployed. From all predictors the strongest is the understanding of human dignity as inherent to humans, followed by dignity through moral behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Human dignity, as coined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR / 1948), is an expression social solidarity, which should cement the relations between people. Human dignity is the foundation of all rights, such as freedom, equality, justice and peace in the world, and in Brazil, human dignity was deemed a fundamental pillar of the country’s post-1988 constitutional order.
 Objective: This article seeks to a deeper investigation about the social nature of human dignity and its definition over time. 
 Methods: This is an exploratory research meant to unpack the concepts of "human dignity", "bioethics", "human rights" and "constitution". After describing the conceptual evolution of human dignity and the facts relevant to its conceptual formation in world history - as a normative standard and a legal rule -, we address the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR/1948), the Declaration of Helsinki (DH/1964), the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (UDBHR/2005), and the definition adopted in the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil (CFRB/1988). The study was carried out without temporal limitation, and included a review of referenced books, legal doctrines, as well as articles and books in the SciELO database.
 Results and discussion: The findings ratify that human dignity is the foundation of all rights, including those of freedom, equality, justice and peace in the world, and must also guide the rights and duties of social regulation. Human dignity has changed from a criterion of power attributed to the social position of individuals to a value of the right to freedom, which now goes beyond the right of freedom and is the basis of modern constitutional democracy, which makes possible the realization of solidarity, as well as the duty and purpose of the state and the community. The will of the subject, of society, of the science and of the state, as well as the rules of domination and regulation, must have a limit on human dignity, and human dignity is not just fundamental right, in the sense of the Constitution, and must prevail over the exclusive will of science, the State and society. Therefore, in the making of power decisions and in realization of possible innovations of science involving human beings, human dignity demands the explicit consideration of respect and promotion of it.
 Conclusion: Human dignity is enshrined in Brazilian constitutional law, as well as in bioethics and in human rights, and it constitutes all the fundamental rights of the human person. It is not merely a rule of autonomy and liberty, and it is an obligatory and non-derogable precept in the making of power decisions, a true main foundation of constitutional democracies.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: While most people acknowledge the dignity of fellow humans, atrocities that deny the
dignity of people are rampant in our world. The ongoing ignorance and aberrations of the
dignity of human beings in the world might mean that there is still not clarity on what
respect for the dignity of others really mean, how it should be practiced and whether human
dignity is an entitlement or a responsibility.
Human dignity was not always bestowed to every individual. In ancient times dignity was
reserved for the strongest individual in and later was extended to certain classes, groups
and nations like the monarchy and clergy, the Egyptians and Romans. The Renaissance
brought a new consciousness of the worth of man. But despite this awareness, and the
advent of a human rights culture as is found in the writings of modem philosophers like
John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant, who all support the notion of
human dignity, liberty and human rights, gross human rights violations still took place
during the twentieth century. Stalin used the Russian people to create a successful
socialistic state; Hitler exterminated all those who obstructed his ideal of creating a pure
Aryan race, while Verwoerd legalized racial discrimination in South Africa and Namibia.
As a result of the atrocities in Europe, especially during World War II, The United Nations
was established with the aim to oversee and address human rights violations in the world.
Human rights and respect for human dignity are included in the Bill of rights of the
Constitutions of America, South Africa and Namibia.
Health care providers acknowledge the rights of patients by respect for the autonomy of
patients. Patients are autonomous persons and health care providers enable patients to take
autonomous action. Autonomous action means that a patient will act with understanding,
intention and without coercion. Paternalism is only justified when it serves to protect the
patient or protect the rights of others. Health care providers practice autonomy by
facilitating informed consent, by providing truthful information, by upholding
confidentiality, to protect privacy of patients and to treat patients with respect. There is little uncertainty that people can claim the right to human dignity because persons
have intrinsic worth as unique beings that are irreplaceable and exist as an end in
themselves. Holy Scripture confirms that humans are created in the image of God.
International human rights instruments and national constitutions provide people with the
statutory right to human dignity and enable people to legally claim this right. But human
dignity is also a responsibility because claiming a right has a reciprocal obligation on
others not to violate the claimed right, but also requires from persons to value their own
lives. Over reliance on science and rational thinking may negate human dignity because
scientists do not always consider the needs of persons. The examples of world leaders like
Gandhi, King and Mandela have also shown that one can earn human dignity through
respectful conduct towards others. Protagoras of Abdera was aware of human worthiness
as right and responsibility as long back as the fifth century Be, and this awareness still
exists today.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ten spyte daarvan dat meeste mense die menswaardigheid van ander erken, misken
gruweldade in die wereld steeds die waardigheid van baie mense. Die miskenning van
menswaardigheid mag beteken dat daar steeds onduidelikheid is oor wat respek vir die
menswaardigheid van ander werklik beteken, hoe dit gepraktiseer moet word en of
menswaardigheid 'n reg of 'n verantwoordelikheid is.
Menswaardigheid was nie altyd aan alle persone verleen nie. In die antieke beskawing was
menswaardigheid grootliks gereserveer vir die sterker persone, en later vir sekere klasse,
groepe en nasies, soos die monargie en geestelikes, die Egiptenare en Romeine. Die
Renaissance het 'n nuwe bewuswording van menswaardigheid gebring. Maar ten spyte van
hierdie bewuswording en die koms van die menseregtekultuur is die werk van moderne
filosowe soos John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau en Immanuel Kant, wat almal die
gedagte van menswaardigheid, vryheid en menseragte ondersteun, het gruwellike
menseregte skendings steeds plaasgevind gedurende die twintigste eeu. Stalin het die
Russiese volk gebruik om 'n suksesvolle sosialistiese staat te skep, Hitler het probeer om
almal wat sy ideaal bedreig het om 'n egte nie-Joodse Kaukasiese nasie te skep, te vermoor,
terwyl Verwoerd rassediskriminasie gewettig het in Suid-Afrika en Namibië. As gevolg
van die gruweldade in Europa, veral gedurende die Tweede Wereldoorlog, het die
Verenigde Nasies tot stand gekom om die menseregteskendings in die wereld te monitor en
aan te spreek. Die Konstitusies van Amerika, Suid-Afrika en Namibië, erken menseregte
en die respek vir menswaardigheid.
Ook in gesondheidsorg word die regte van die pasiënt beskerm deur die beginsel van
respek vir die outonomie van pasiënte. Pasiënte is outonome persone en gesondheidsorg
werkers maak dit moontlik vir pasiënte om outonome handelinge uit te voer. Outonome
handelinge beteken dat die pasiënt sal handel met intensie en sonder dwang en dat die
handeling ten volle verstaan word. Paternalisme is alleen geregverdig wanneer dit die regte
van die pasiënt of ander persone beskerm. Gesondheidsorg werkers fasiliteer outonomie van pasiënte deur ingeligte toestemming te verkry, pasiënte nie te mislei nie, vertroulikheid
te handhaaf, privaatheid van die pasiënt te verseker en deur pasiënte te respekteer.
Daar is min onsekerheid dat persone op die reg tot menswaardigheid kan aanspraak maak
want mense het inherente waarde as mense wat nie vervang kan word nie en wat in hulself
'n bestaansdoel het. Die Skrif bevestig dat die mens na die beeld van God geskape is.
Internasionale menseregte instrumente en nasionale konstitusies maak voorsiening vir die
wettige reg tot menswaardigheid en maak dit vir mense moontlik om wettiglik op hierdie
reg aanspraak te maak. Mense het egter nie net 'n reg tot menswaardigheid nie maar ook
'n verantwoordelikheid. Aanspraak op 'n reg tot menswaardigheid impliseer 'n wedersydse
verantwoordelikheid dat ander die reg nie mag skend nie, maar vereis ook die
verantwoordelikheid dat persone waarde aan hul eie lewens sal heg. Oorwaardering van
die wetenskap en rasionaliteit mag ook menswaardigheid ontken, omdat menslike
behoeftes nie altyd in ag geneem word deur wetenskaplikes nie. Voorbeelde van
wêreldleiers soos Gandhi, King en Mandela bewys dat menswaardigheid ook verwerf kan
word deur ander respekvol te behandel. Protagoras of Abdera was reeds in die vyfde eeu
voor Christus bewus van menswaardigheid as reg en verantwoordelikheid, en hierdie
bewussyn is steeds geldig vandag.

The objective of this study was to investigate educators’ understanding of the right to human dignity within a school context. A sample of principals, deputy principals, senior teachers, HODs and educators from four different schools in one Education District in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa participated in this study. The study was motivated by the increasing number of cases that have been reported on the infringement of the learners’ right to human dignity which includes rape, sexual abuse, harassment, bullying and assault of learners in South African schools. A qualitative case study was conducted using interviews and document analysis to gather data. The conceptual framework was based on the interpretation and implementation of the right to human dignity. The study provided insight into what educators think of the the concept of human dignity and what they do or fail do regarding the promotion and protection of the right. Most participants perceived the right to human dignity as a basic right and related it to integrity and respect. However, there were also misconceptions about the concept. Some educators lacked an understanding of the right to dignity which had negative consequences on their classroom practice. This gave rise to infringements and violations of the right to human dignity of the learners as reported in this study. Name-calling, ridiculing and degrading of learners and character assassination were common experiences. The findings of this study also revealed a lack of clear guideline for educators to use in the promotion and protection of the right to human dignity. The findings indicate the necessity to conduct more school-based research on human rights that will open dialogue on how to integrate rights in teaching and learning activities. Educators do not seem to know how to interact with the learners in positive and constructive ways in their schools within the confines of the Constitution. This study supports the findings of Serame and others which call for a culture of humanity and accountability in South African schools.<br>Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2017.<br>Education Management and Policy Studies<br>MEd<br>Unrestricted

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.

A presente dissertação defende a possibilidade da alteração do Registro
Civil dos transexuais para que constem nome e sexo condizentes com o seu sexo
reivindicado, mesmo nos casos em que não foi realizada a cirurgia de
redesignação sexual. A partir de uma visão da transexualidade capaz de alocá-la
fora dos marcos patologizantes e encará-la como uma experiência idenitária e
ainda diante da visão do sexo como um conceito pluridimensional envolvendo
fatores de ordem física, psíquica e social, a possibilidade de autodeterminação
sexual é vista como uma garantia constitucional. Usando hermenêutica civilconstitucional
é possível permitir uma maior autonomia privada no que diz
respeito às questões auto-referentes, notadamente em um Estado que tem como
pilares fundamentais do ordenamento jurídico a pluralidade e a dignidade da
pessoa humana. Nesse contexto, sendo a identidade sexual um dos componentes
da identidade, permitir que o titular do direito possa, de forma responsável e
consciente se autodeterminar é plenamente possível, mesmo diante da ausência de
norma expressa a respeito, sendo inclusive um direito a saúde, considerada em seu
aspecto psíquico. A Constituição, ao instituir um catálogo de direitos
fundamentais tutela entre outros direitos, a liberdade e a privacidade, permitindo
que cada um possa decidir sobre sua vida nas questões que dizem respeito às
situações existenciais de maneira a atender suas aspirações e seus valores.<br>The current work defends the possibility of altering the civil register of
transsexuals, so that it presents the name and gender appropriate to their claimed
gender, even in the cases that sex reassignment surgery was not performed.
Through a concept of transsexuality as an identity experience rather than a
pathology and understanding gender as a complex concept, involving factors of
physical, psychological and social order, the possibility of sexual selfdetermination
is viewed as a constitutional right. Using a civil-constitutional
hermeneutics, it is possible to allow a greater privacy and autonomy in relation to
self-referring matters, especially in a State that have as its main pillars of it’s legal
system the plurality and dignity of human beings. In this context, being gender
identity one of identity components, allowing the right bearer self-determination,
in a responsible and conscious manner is fully possible, even with the lack of a
formal law regarding it, being it in fact a health right, in relation to its psychic
aspect. The constitution, by creating a catalog of fundamental rights, assures
private autonomy, allowing each one to decide about its life in matters regarding
existential situations in a manner that fulfills its aspirations and values.

Full textAbstract:
Human rights education (HRE) is a growing pedagogical force that lacks conceptual theorisation and awareness of an emerging postsecular context. This hampers the extent to which it can accomplish its aims of encouraging friendship between people of different religious and philosophical traditions while advancing a universal culture of rights. The thesis analyses the role of religion within HRE literature, both at an international and theoretical level, and in the curriculum documents for English schools, finding parallel weaknesses resulting from this shallow theoretical base. The thesis contributes to HRE literature with a distinctive analysis of the foundational concept of dignity and the meaning-giving narratives that contributed to the concept’s development. It unravels the complexities surrounding an often mentioned but seldom explained concept, identifying relationships between inherent worth, human flourishing and societal recognition. It demonstrates that taking an inclusive approach to this conceptual framework allows for two crucial ingredients in contemporary society: different meaning-giving narratives may be held, while a common ethical understanding of rights based on dignity is adhered to. It argues that the concept of dignity is a foundation for a particular pedagogical approach that advances a commitment to the inherent worth of the human person. The approach consists of two reflexive elements: a self-reflective enquiry into the faiths and philosophies of the individual learners and a dialogue with and for others. These elements are essential if the colonial mistakes of earlier human rights movements are to be avoided, and they identify the significance of religious education in HRE. A proposal for a recontextualised form of HRE that is theologically and religiously literate presents a distinctive offering to guide policy and practice. The proposal acknowledges the overlap between educational movement and theological thought and makes specific reference to contributions from contemporary Catholic thinking. The thesis aims to motivate further research to carry forward the HRE proposal and develop new thinking about postsecular education.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Philosophiae - MPhil<br>The South African Constitution, 1996 has placed the right to sufficient water as a
Constitutional right. The provision of this right by the Constitution intends to redress
the violation of human rights, to ensure that South Africa’s scarce water resources
are protected from pollution and that every South African, including the poor and
the marginalised, enjoys them. Consequently, the Constitution has placed a legal
obligation on the government to realise the right to have access to sufficient
water. In order for the government to fulfil its obligation to provide water as a right
for present and future generations, it will need to implement the relevant
legislation effectively to protect the country’s water resources. This study analyses
Section 27 of the Constitution, which provides for the right to access to water, and
the role of sustainability in conserving and protecting water resources, given the
recurring water challenges.

Germ-line interventions allow parents to take influence on their child’s genetic disposition and give scientists the means to eradicate hereditary diseases. At the same time, nothing is more controversial in the realm of genetics than the child as an object of parental gustoes - the “designed child”. This article begins with an overview of the international regulations dealing with germ-line interventions. It then turns to the question whether there are international human rights that promote a permissive policy towards germ-line interventions, such as the right to health, as opposed to those international rules that seem to restrict the application of germ-line interventions, such as human dignity. The analysis results in the conclusion that the prohibition of germ-line interventions for non-therapeutic purposes is an evolving rule of customary international law. In order to give this rule a more tangible outline, the appendix contains the draft of a “Declaration on the Prohibition of Non-Therapeutic Germ-line Interventions

Full textAbstract:
Die philosophischen Grundlagen der Meta-Dimension des Rechts auf Menschenwürde lösen eine Fragestellung aus, die die Grenzen der Disziplin des Rechts übertrifft: wie könnte das Transzendentale als ein Aspekt der Bedeutung von Menschenwürde dargestellt werden? Das Beharren auf der nicht-Bestimmung des Menschenbildes oder auf dem Begriff ‚Gott’ in der Präambel des Deutschen Grundgesetzes, wie es sich in der Deutschen Dogmatik widerspiegelt, gepaart mit dem Bestreben nach einer Fall-zu-Fall ad hoc Konkretisierung dessen, was Menschenwürde bedeutet, inspiriert diese Untersuchung von ‚etwas fehlt’ [‘something missing’]. In postmoderner Art und Weise beschreibt diese Geschichte das Gesetz der Menschenwürde als Trojanisches Pferd und bietet hermeneutische und literarische Grundlagen für eine affirmative Haltung gegenüber einer ''leeren'' Rede im juristischen Diskurs. Die Forschungsfrage erweckt und umkreist die polemisch verbrämten Begriffe von ‚Leere’ und ‚Black Box’: Warum erscheint der Rechtsbegriff der Menschenwürde ‚leer’? Oder wie ist er ‚leer’? Warum und wie ist er eine ‚Black Box’? Wie erscheinen Manifestationen des Konzepts abstrakt wie Universalien, aber im Einzelnen konkret? Die ontologischen, sprachlich-analytischen und phänomenologischen philosophischen Erkenntnisse, vorgestellt im ersten Kapitel, bilden die Linse, durch die fünf maßgebliche Fälle des Bundesverfassungsgerichtes – über Abtreibung, lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe, Transsexualität, staatliche Reaktion auf Terroranschläge und die Gewährleistung eines menschenwürdigen Existenzminimums – im zweiten Kapitel analysiert werden. Die philosophischen Quellen werden nicht als Momente im langen Verlauf der Menschenwürde in der Geschichte der Ideen eingeklammert.<br>The philosophical underpinnings of what may be called the meta-dimension of the law of human dignity trigger a question that surpasses the boundaries of the discipline of law: how could the transcendental as an aspect of human dignity meaning be portrayed? The insistence on non-determination of the Menschenbild [human image] or ‘God’ in the Preamble to the German Basic Law [Grundgesetz] reflected in German legal doctrine, paired with the commitment to case-by-case ad hoc concretization of what human dignity means inspire this story of ‘something missing’. In postmodern fashion, this story portrays the law of human dignity as a Trojan Horse and provides hermeneutic and literary foundations for an affirmative stance towards ‘emptiness’ talk in legal discourse. The research question rekindles and twists polemically framed ‘emptiness’ and ‘black box’ contentions: Why does the legal concept of human dignity appear ‘empty’? Or, how is it ‘empty’? Why and how is it a ‘black box’? How do manifestations of the concept appear abstract as universals and concrete as particulars? The ontological, linguistic-analytical, and phenomenological philosophical insights presented in Chapter One compose the lens through which five benchmark Bundesverfassungsgericht cases – on abortion, life imprisonment, transsexuals, state response to terrorist attacks, and the guarantee of a dignified subsistence minimum – are analyzed in Chapter Two. The philosophical sources are not bracketed as moments in the long course of human dignity in the history of ideas.

Full textAbstract:
The current pandemic has created new scenarios and problems regarding religious freedom. To combat the spread of the coronavirus, governments have ordered social distance and total closure of numerous activities including the celebration of sacred rites without consulting religious authorities. Religions have accepted the restrictions with a sense of responsibility, but the sacrifice of religious freedom for the faithful has been great. In addition, the effects of the pandemic together with the negative effects of globalization will continue over time, generating economic and social damage. In addition to prayer, religions have invited the faithful to a social commitment to reduce the critical issues of the crisis and specially to combat poverty. It is therefore necessary to analyze some topics: critical issues relating to the limitation of the right to religious freedom; what problems arise in the relations between powers (civil and religious); what problems arise in relations between state and religions; how the constitutional rights of the faithful and citizens are protected; what are the legal problems internal to the different religions, considering that the judgment on the validity of online rites is different; what is the role of religions in the face of the economic crisis. For the first time since the beginning of the human rights era, there has been a serious conflict between human rights, especially for the greater protection given to the right to health. The right to religious freedom also suffered, but it must be considered that the protection of the right to religious freedom also contributes to the recovery of a „good” economy, which can counteract the negative effects of the pandemic and globalization. We must build a personalist humanism, which the alliance between religions can promote. A humanism that respects the rights and dignity of man, against the logic of profit, and that rewrites the ethical rules of the economy. Looking at the post-pandemic, religions can be the soul of the ethical and moral rules that must guide the „good economy” in society to overcome social and economic differences.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the right for privacy and secrecy as an opportunity to have a life sphere hidden from the government, society and other individuals. The study is based on a holistic approach including logical, hermeneutical and comparative methods. The historical process of the origin of publicness triggered the development of legal guarantees, personal freedom, and political involvement. This was accompanied by the occurrence of the sphere of privacy where an actor is protected from state and public interventions. Whereas the public sphere is associated with openness, transparency, total accessibility, the private sphere is connoted with darkness, opacity, and closedness. The need for privacy and secrecy is determined by the human vulnerability. One of the critical components of privacy is the right of an individual for control his personal information. To protect one’s own private sphere, one puts on a social mask when speaking in public. In an intimate relationship, unlike in a public one, he voluntarily waives protection by allowing those closest to him access to personal information. The restricted private sphere is sometimes a source of apprehension and a desire to penetrate other people’s secrets, both from the totalitarian state, which seeks to suppress and unify the individual, and from curious members of society. For the purpose of retaining the social world, a person in the course of socialisation learns to respect other’s privacy, behaving discreetly and tactfully. The right for privacy and secrecy is related with freedom, dignity, and the autonomy of personality.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID - 19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020 and the reactions of state authorities to it are unparalleled events in modern history. In order to protect public health, states have limited a number of fundamental human rights that individuals have in accordance with national constitutions and international conventions. The focus of this paper is the right of access to abortion in the Member States of the European Union. In Europe, the situation with regard to the recognition of women's right to abortion is quite clear. All member states of the European Union, with the exception of Poland and Malta, recognize the rather liberal right of a woman to have an abortion in a certain period of time after conception. However, Malta and Poland, as members of the European Union, since abortion is seen as a service, must not hinder the travel of women abroad to have an abortion, nor restrict information on the provision of abortion services in other countries. In 2020, a pandemic highlighted all the weaknesses of this regime by preventing women from traveling to more liberal countries to perform abortions, thus calling into question their right to choose and protect their sexual and reproductive rights. This is not only the case in Poland and Malta, but also in countries that recognize the right to abortion but make it conditional on certain non-medical conditions, such as compulsory counselling; and the mandatory time period between applying for and performing an abortion; in situations present in certain countries where the problem of a woman exercising the right to abortion is a large number of doctors who do not provide this service based on their right to conscience. The paper is divided into three parts. The aim of the first part of the paper is to consider all the legal difficulties that women face in accessing abortion during the COVID -19 pandemic, restrictions that affect the protection of their dignity, right to life, privacy and right to equality. In the second part of the paper particular attention will be paid to the illiberal tendencies present in this period in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Poland. In the third part of the paper, emphasis will be put on the situation in Malta where there is a complete ban on abortion even in the case when the life of a pregnant woman is in danger.

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.

Full textAbstract:
Educational institutions consist of spaces for interaction and sociability, therefore, these spaces are composed of a multiplicity of people, each with their individualities, being, therefore, a locus of coexistence with diversity and of creating access opportunities for the equalization of opportunities. From this perspective, research on Human Rights Education means directing citizens in the fight for their rights and for a fairer society, as a form of full realization of citizenship. This research, at first, discusses the various forms of violence that occur in youth, especially those that occur in the school space, highlighting the causes and consequences of physical, psychological, symbolic violence and one of the most worrying in the world scenario: the " bullying". The general objective is to verify the existence and manifestations of violence in the school environment among students, teachers, managers and employees to understand the relationship that young people have with their peers, identifying the forms of violence called "bullying" that occur in the environment in an attempt to reflect on how such practices can be fought through Human Rights Education. Therefore, the methodology used will be qualiquantitative and will consist of a literature review, which will aim to situate human rights and bullying as objects in the field of socio-legal studies. Documentary analysis of laws dealing with human rights and education will be carried out, as well as field research, through which the questionnaire will be used as a data collection instrument to understand the perception of high school students about bullying and the disrespect for differences. The work will also involve quantitative analysis in the analysis of data to verify the incidence of bullying, its modalities and how Human Rights Education can contribute to respecting and valuing differences. With the completion of this research, it is expected to provide educators and students of educational institutions, an analysis of the importance of forming a culture of respect for human dignity, diversity, multiplying information and experiences that contribute to participatory awareness, rethinking the citizen reality of the population involved and reinforcing the socio-political-cultural identity of social segments and groups, based on the school reality and on Human Rights Education

Full textAbstract:
The Federal Constitution of 1988 has in its body the so-called second dimension rights that aim to guarantee the dignity of the human person. However, when it comes to the homeless population, the reach of these rights, in practice, is distant or non-existent. The absence of official census data hinders the action of the State in the elaboration of effective public policies aimed at solving the various problems faced by individuals living on the streets, without guaranteeing the existential minimum. Given this scenario, the objective is to investigate the development, elaboration and implementation of public policies in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes for the homeless population, which aim to protect the minimum set of rights to have a decent life, reaffirming the importance existing policies or indicating the need for reformulation or the adoption of other measures that guarantee the minimum foreseen in the constitutional text.To achieve the objectives proposed in this research, the methodological procedures will start from a bibliographic, longitudinal, descriptive survey; legislative and jurisprudential analysis on the subject, in addition to a qualitative and quantitative approach, through the collection of primary and secondary data at the Human Development Department and Centro Pop, drawing up a profile of the homeless population in the studied municipality. The aim of this research is to systematize the theoretical framework and the actions of the State through laws, projects, decrees, ordinances on the homeless population and the implementation of public policies as a way to guarantee the existential minimum; proposition of viable solutions at the municipal level for the implementation of effective public policies for the multi-cited population, and elaboration of an article bringing together the results achieved by the studies carried out during the project.

Full textAbstract:
Zambians in all walks of life are affected by malnutrition, and working through human rights is one key way to address this injustice. Based on research aiming to understand how a ‘right to nutrition’ is perceived by different actors globally and in Zambia, this brief presents a clear framework for a rights-based approach to nutrition in Zambia. This framework identifies rhetorical, legal and practical functions of human rights, and offers a way to think through clearly how different actors might work on the different aspects of rights. Addressing these three aspects of a right to nutrition all together – instead of by very separate constituencies as happens now – is fundamental to a coherent rights-based approach to nutrition. This brief outlines which actors need to come together – from law and policy, activism and communities, across global, national and local levels – and suggests how to start. It lays out the Zambian policy, legal and practical environment as it stands, and suggests actions to move forward in each of these areas in ways that are consistent with the different aspects of rights. Through these steps, Zambia can become known as a hub of action on a right to nutrition, to join with others in using human rights to address the injustice of malnutrition.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the ways in which social networks and the blogosphere influence the formation and implementation of a PR campaign. Examples from the political sphere (election campaigns, initiatives), business (TV brands, traditional and online media) have revealed the opportunities that Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, YouTube and blogs promote in promoting advertising, ideas, campaigns, thoughts, or products. Author blogs created on special websites or online media may not be as much of a tool in PR as an additional tool on social media. It is noted that choosing a blog as the main tool of PR campaign has both positive and negative points. Social networks intervene in the sphere of human life, become a means of communication, promotion, branding. The effectiveness of social networks has been evidenced by such historically significant events as Brexit, the Arab Spring, and the Revolution of Dignity. Special attention was paid to the 2019 presidential election. Based on the analysis of individual PR campaigns, the reasons for successful and unsuccessful campaigns from the point of view of network communication, which provide unlimited multimedia and interactive tools for PR, are highlighted. In fact, these concepts significantly affect the effectiveness of the implementation of PR-campaign, its final effectiveness, which is determined by the achievement of goals. Attention is drawn to the culture of communication during the PR campaign, as well as the concepts of “trolls”, “trolling”, “bots”, “botoin industry”. The social communication component of these concepts is unconditional. Choosing a blog as the main tool of a marketing campaign has both positive and negative aspects. Only a person with great creative potential can run and create a blog. In addition, it takes a long time. In fact, these two points are losing compared to other internet marketing tools. Further research is interesting in two respects. First, a comparison of the dynamics of the effectiveness of PR-campaign tools in Ukraine in 2020 and in the past, in particular, at the dawn of state independence. Secondly, to investigate how/or the concept of PR-campaigns in social networks and blogs is constantly changing.

Full textAbstract:
This review looks at the extent to which LGBT rights are provided for under law in a range of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and the record on implementation/enforcement, as well as approaches to promote LGBT rights and inclusion. SIDS covered are those in the Caribbean, Pacific, and Atlantic-Indian Ocean-South China Sea (AIS) regions. The review draws on a mixture of grey literature (largely from international development agencies/NGOs), academic literature, and media reports. While the information on the legal situation of LGBT people in SIDS was readily available, there was far less evidence on approaches/programmes to promote LGBT rights/inclusion in these countries. However, the review did find a number of reports with recommendations for international development cooperation generally on LGBT issues. Denial of LGBT rights and discrimination against LGBT people is found to varying extents in all parts of the world. It is important that LGBT people have protection in law, in particular the right to have same-sex sexual relations; protection from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation; and the right to gender identity/expression. Such rights are also provided for under international human rights conventions such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, while the Sustainable Development Goals are based on the principle of ‘leave no one behind'.

Full textAbstract:
The aerospace manufacturing industry is, in many ways, one of the most sophisticated commercial manufacturing systems in existence. It uses cutting-edge materials to build highly complex, safety-critical structures and parts. However, it still relies largely upon human skill and dexterity during assembly. There are increasing efforts to introduce automation, but uptake is still relatively low. Why is this and what needs to be done? Some may point to part size or the need for accuracy. However, as with any complex issue, the problems are multifactorial. There are no right or wrong answers to the automation conundrum and indeed there are many contradictions and unsettled aspects still to be resolved. Unsettled Issues on the Viability and Cost-Effectiveness of Automation in Aerospace Manufacturing builds a comprehensive picture of industry views and attitudes backed by technical analysis to answer some of the most pressing questions facing robotic aerospace manufacturing.

Full textAbstract:
Housing issues usually play a major role in urban studies, but are often overlooked as a factor in rural development. This policy brief explores aspects of the dynamics of the ‘frozen’ rural housing market in the Nordic Region, with a specific focus on the role of financing, the part played by municipalities and the potential benefits of a larger rental market.Housing is generally seen as a human right, a consumable that serves as the framework for our lives. However, at the same time, real estate is a financial commodity on the market. In many rural areas, the market value of houses is low – often considerably below the cost of construction. In consequence, it is very difficult to obtain loans to build or buy. This ‘freezes’ the market and has a strong impact on rural development overall, in effect acting as a boost to the trend towards urbanisation and the depopulation of rural areas. We will explore ways to counteract this dynamic.

Idris, Iffat. Promotion of Freedom of Religion or Belief. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.036.
Full textAbstract:
Freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is a fundamental human right. However, the general global trend in recent years is towards increased FoRB violations by both government and non-government actors. Notable exceptions are Sudan and Uzbekistan, which have shown significant improvement in promoting FoRB, while smaller-scale positive developments have been seen in a number of other countries. The international community is increasingly focusing on FoRB. External actors can help promote FoRB through monitoring and reporting, applying external pressure on governments (and to a lesser extent non-government entities), and through constructive engagement with both government and non-government actors. The literature gives recommendations for how each of these approaches can be effectively applied. This review is largely based on grey (and some academic) literature as well as recent media reports. The evidence base was limited by the fact that so few countries have shown FoRB improvements, but there was wider literature on the role that external actors can play. The available literature was often gender blind (typically only referring to women and girls in relation to FoRB violations) and made negligible reference to persons with disabilities.
