The Contemporary Paradigm of Human Dignity in the European Union Context

Year: 2024

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: The European Council adopted a strategic agenda for the period 2019-2024 focused on protecting citizens and freedoms while promoting European interests and values on the global stage. In this regard, the concept of human dignity is crucial given that the first article of the Charter of Fundamental Fights of the EU states »Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected«. This chapter presents traditional and contemporary paradigms of human dignity relying on its cultural and historical aspects and highlights its relevance in the context of the EU today.
