Abstract:
The study is devoted to the problem of constitutional regulation
of human dignity. As a result of the analysis of the text of the constitutions
of several European countries (such as Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic,
Finland, Germany, Spain, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Italy, Portugal,
Slovakia, Sweden, Hungary, Romania and the Republic of Moldova), it
is deduced and argued the need to enshrine human dignity in the Constitution
of the Republic of Moldova as a standard of quality of life, as an inalienable
and inviolable fundamental right and as an obligation of the state. In
conclusion, it is stressed that the most problematic issue is to ensure respect
for human dignity and liability for its violation in the person’s relations
with state authorities. From this perspective, a major role in guaranteeing
human dignity falls to the courts, which are called upon both to respect the
dignity of the person subject to justice in their work and to ensure that the
state authorities respect it, and if necessary to restore it by holding them
legally responsible.
