For each of these 43 countries and the EU, it scrutinizes three main aspects: the constitution, legislation, and application of law (court rulings). The book addresses and presents answers to important questions relating to the concept of human dignity. These questions include the following: What is the meaning of human dignity? What is the legal status of the respective human dignity norms? Are human dignity norms of a programmatic nature, or do they establish an individual right which can be invoked before court? Is human dignity inviolable? The volume answers these questions from the perspectives of all European countries. As a reaction to the barbaric events during World War II, human dignity (dignitas) found its way into international law. Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that ?[a]ll human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.? The starting point for developing the concept on a national level was the codification of human dignity in article 1, paragraph 1 of the German Grundgesetz. Consequently, the concept of human dignity spread throughout Europe and, in the context of human rights, became a fundamental legal concept. 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aEthics 606 $aLaw$zEurope 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History 606 $aPhilosophy of Law 606 $aConstitutional Law 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aEuropean Law 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aLaw 615 14$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Law. 615 24$aConstitutional Law. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aEuropean Law. 676 $a342 702 $aBecchi$b Paolo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMathis$b Klaus$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337834803321 996 $aHandbook of Human Dignity in Europe$91745042 997 $aUNINA
