Produktbeschreibung

This book tracks the increasing use of the concept of human dignity in national and international courts. It identifies how human-dignity-based arguments have expanded to cover larger sets of cases, from the right to life or to integrity or anti-discrimination, with judges understanding, interpreting, and applying human dignity differently.
