Human dignity forms the basis of the European Convention on Human Rights and plays an important role in the convention's jurisprudence. Its prerequisites and far-reaching implications have, however, long been ignored because »dignity« itself is not codified in the convention. This volume summarises human dignity's status quo in the convention's case-law and discusses the implications of the principle's usage.
