HUMAN DIGNITY Element, source or essence of international human rights law

Original language description

The international workshop aims at gathering researchers and Ph.D./Master students around the topic of human dignity mainly from the perspective of international human rights law. Dignity is mentioned in the UN Charter preamble (faith in dignity and worth of human person). Similarly in the preamble to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (inherent dignity to human person). On the other hand, one cannot find the term „dignity“ in the text of the European Convention on Human Rights (but in the preamble to the additional protocol n°13 on the abolition of death penalty). On national level, human dignity appears in different constitutions (e.g., German basic law, Polish Constitution) or constitutional acts (e.g., Czech Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms). International human rights adjudication does refer to human dignity in different cases. In that sense human dignity appears sometimes just as a simple reference, other times as an element of reasoning. Legal interpretation and argumentation is now and then supported also by human dignity as a philosophical concept. The substantial aim of the workshop is to address the concept of human dignity as a legal concept which appears in current international human rights law documents and adjudication.Subsequent and other questions may arise:-Is human dignity an autonomous concept present in international instruments and/or adjudication?-Is there some kind of relation/or even hierarchy between human dignity and human rights?-Is human dignity particularly more related to some concrete human rights (than to others)-Can we speak of any content of human dignity (concept)?-Is human dignity on international human rights law level same as on national level?-Is human dignity an element, a source or essence of international human rights law?
