| description | Human dignity is one of the most fundamental ideas in the entire international human
rights system. As from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in 1948, the concept of
the human dignity become used as a tool to protect the basic needs of humans. The other
formal instruments of international human rights also make reference to dignity. Whereas
international law widely accepted the inherence of dignity, controversies still arise around
the source of the dignity. Polish lawmakers, on the other hand, have no doubt about the
fact the concept of dignity comes from natural law. Poland, in her Constitution, refers to
the teaching of John Paul II about the source, value and meaning of human dignity. There
is no doubt that concept of human dignity, even when it is controversial, is the most widely
accepted by all religions and political society in the world. |
