Download or read book The Age of Dignity written by Catherine Dupré and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human dignity is one of the most challenging and exciting ideas for lawyers and political philosophers in the twenty-first century. Even though it is rapidly emerging as a core concept across legal systems, and is the first foundational value of the European Union and its overarching human rights commitment under the Lisbon Treaty, human dignity is still little understood and often mistrusted. Based on extensive comparative and cross-disciplinary research, this path-breaking monograph provides an innovative and critical investigation of human dignity's origins, development and above all its potential at the heart of European constitutionalism today. Grounding its analysis in the connections among human dignity, human rights, constitutional law and democracy, this book argues that human dignity's varied and increasing uses point to a deep transformation of European constitutionalism. At its heart are the construction and protection of constitutional time, and the multi-dimensional definition of humanity as human beings, citizens and workers. Anchored in a detailed comparative study of case law, including the two European supranational courts and domestic constitutional courts, especially those of Germany, the UK, France and Hungary, this monograph argues for a new understanding of European constitutionalism as a form of humanism.

Download or read book La dignit de la personne quelles r alit s written by and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emprunté au domaine de la philosophie morale, la dignité a fait l'objet d'une inscription dans les textes juridiques, notamment internationaux, à la suite de la Shoah. Ainsi, aujourd'hui, le principe de dignité humaine préoccupe aussi bien les juristes que de nombreux publics allant des représentants de multiples disciplines aux simples citoyens en passant par les politiques. En effet, le contenu de ce concept reste indéterminé. Mais peut-il en être autrement sachant que la dignité humaine pose une question centrale : qu'est-ce qui fait la valeur de l'existence humaine ? Dans ce contexte, cet ouvrage tente de relever un défi : analyser les applications du principe de dignité dans vingt pays représentatifs de cultures différentes pour tenter de cerner son contenu et surtout d'apprécier son utilité en droit. Ainsi, à partir de l'examen des lois, des avis de commissions nationales d'éthique ou relatives aux droit de l'homme, mais aussi et surtout des décisions judiciaires, les usages de la dignité sont analysés en vue de faire émerger les lignes de convergence et de divergence. L'ouvrage fait aussi une place à la perception de la dignité par les Cours européenne et interaméricaine des droits de l'homme ainsi qu'aux regards du philosophe, du sociologue et de l'anthropologue sur les réalités de la dignité. A défaut de progresser sur la définition de la dignité, cette étude permet d'identifier la finalité des usages de la dignité, de montrer l'ambivalence de ce concept et devrait ainsi inciter tous ceux qui s'y réfèrent en pratique, notamment les juges, les politiques, les médecins ou les citoyens, à agir en conséquence afin d'éviter que cet outil de défense des droits de la personne se transforme en censeur de libertés ou en instrument d'injustice sociale.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Human Dignity written by Marcus Düwell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 1130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to human dignity explores the history of the notion from antiquity to the nineteenth century, and the way in which dignity is conceptualised in non-Western contexts. Building on this, it addresses a range of systematic conceptualisations, considers the theoretical and legal conditions for human dignity as a useful notion and analyses a number of philosophical and conceptual approaches to dignity. Finally, the book introduces current debates, paying particular attention to the legal implementation, human rights, justice and conflicts, medicine and bioethics, and provides an explicit systematic framework for discussing human dignity. Adopting a wide range of perspectives and taking into account numerous cultures and contexts, this handbook is a valuable resource for students, scholars and professionals working in philosophy, law, history and theology.
Download or read book The Reality of Human Dignity in Law and Bioethics written by Brigitte Feuillet-Liger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume explores the reality of the principle of human dignity – a core value which is increasingly invoked in our societies and legal systems. This book provides a systematic overview of the legal and philosophical concept in sixteen countries representing different cultural and religious contexts and examines in particular its use in a developing case law (including of the European Court of Human Rights and of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights). Whilst omnipresent in the context of bioethics, this book reveals its wider use in healthcare more generally, treatment of prisoners, education, employment, and matters of life and death in many countries. In this unique comparative work, contributing authors share a multidisciplinary analysis of the use (and potential misuse) of the principle of dignity in Europe, Africa, South and North America and Asia. By revealing the ambivalence of human dignity in a wide range of cultures and contexts and through the evolving reality of case law, this book is a valuable resource for students, scholars and professionals working in bioethics, medicine, social sciences and law. Ultimately, it will make all those who invoke the principle of human dignity more aware of its multi-layered character and force us all to reflect on its ability to further social justice within our societies.
Download or read book The Human Right to Water Justice or Sham written by Evelyne Fiechter-Widemann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is a matter of life and death. Advanced technology and engineering enable humans to gain better access to it. Nonetheless, the conditions and effort required to reach this goal remain colossal in many countries. Building a lasting infrastructure for adequate treatment before and after use is costly. Therefore, the author believes that a radical change of thinking among people around the world, from the domestic to the large-scale users, becomes a priority. Even if the United Nations entitles all people to justice for water, more responsible and ethical use of it by all interested parties is more important than the spreading of promises, which, in practice, may turn out to be a sham. Only a better understanding that access to water rests on the efforts of everyone, without exception, will reduce overuse, waste, and pollution of the indispensable resource. This volume, while written from a theological, philosophical, and legal perspective (focusing on John Calvin, John Rawls, and Paul Ricoeur), demonstrates that water cannot be merely understood as a human right, but also has to be dealt with from an economic point of view as well as under the authority of the Golden Rule.

Book excerpt: In one of the most important publications on the European Convention and Court of Human Rights in recent years, a wide range of fundamental practical and theoretical problems of crucial importance are addressed in an original and critical way bringing a fresh, coherent and innovative order into well-known battle zones. The analysis revolves around the Courta (TM)s fair balance-test and comprises in-depth analyses of e.g. methods of interpretation, proportionality, the least onerous means-test, the notion of absolute rights, subsidiarity, formal and substantive principles, evidentiary standards, proceduralisation of substantive rights etc. The author coins the term of a oeprimaritya in order to clarify the obligation of the Contracting Parties to implement the Convention in domestic law.
