Book Description
Over the past two centuries, the concept of human dignity has moved from the fringes to the centre of the inteational legal system. This book is the first detailed historical, theoretical and legal investigation of human dignity as a normative value, the intellectual sources that shaped its legal recognition, and the main legal instruments used to give it expression in inteational law. Ginevra Le Moli addresses the broad historical and philosophical developments relating to the legal expression of dignity and the doctrinal geography of human dignity in inteational law, with a focus on inteational humanitarian law, inteational human rights law and inteational criminal law. The book fills a major lacuna in the literature by providing a comprehensive account of dignity within inteational law that draws on an extensive documentary and archival basis and a vast body of decisions of inteational judicial and quasi-judicial bodies.
