Dignity Rights – Courts, Constitutions, and the Worth of the Human Person: Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism

Autor Erin Daly, Aharon Barak
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2020
Originally published in 2012, Dignity Rights is the first book to explore the constitutional law of dignity around the world. In it, Erin Daly shows how dignity has come not only to define specific interests like the right to humane treatment or to earn a living wage, but also to protect the basic rights of a person to control his or her own life and to live in society with others. Daly argues that, through the right to dignity, courts are redefining what it means to be human in the modern world. As described by the courts, the scope of dignity rights marks the outer boundaries of state power, limiting state authority to meet the demands of human dignity. As a result, these cases force us to reexamine the relationship between the individual and the state and, in turn, contribute to a new and richer understanding of the role of the citizen in modern democracies.
This updated edition features a new preface by the author, in which she articulates how, over the past decade, dignity rights cases have evolved to incorporate the convergence of human rights and environmental rights that we have seen at the international level and in domestic constitutions.

Descriere

This ground-breaking book examines how judicial interpretations of dignity redefine what it means to be human in the modern world. It features a new preface by the author, in which she articulates how, over the past decade, dignity rights cases have evolved to incorporate the convergence of human rights and environmental rights.

Recenzii

"Human dignity has a long history. It has been recognized in various religions and has served as the basis for a variety of philosophical outlooks. The essential nature of the concept is sharply debated. Some see it as a paramount constitutional value and a central constitutional right. Others see it as a concept void of any content and having no constitutional use. Against the background of these sharp disputes, Erin Daly's book comes as a breath of fresh air. It sets before the reader the broad comparative base; points out the key problems that arise; and outlines the principal lines of thought and their development... It treats all of these matters comprehensively and clearly, making an important and original contribution."-From the Foreword by Aharon Barak "Readers interested in how ideas of dignity have evolved in court cases will find this book illuminating. Erin Daly admirably succeeds in showing how courts have given concrete meaning to this unbounded concept in particular cases."-Rebecca Cook, University of Toronto
