Human dignity

Human dignity as the ethical foundation of democratic order and fundamental rights.

Human dignity — the inalienable value of each person, regardless of status, merit, or utility — is the moral foundation of modern constitutionalism. From Kant to the 1948 Universal Declaration and the post-war constitutions (German, Italian, Spanish, Latin American), dignity operates as an absolute limit on power. Revista Conciencia Democrática publishes analysis and essays defending that ethical centrality.
