Abstract

We consider the problem of human dignity right as one of the key elements of the system of personal (civil) rights and freedoms of man and citizen. We state the constitutive importance of the right to human dignity in the structure of the legal status of an individual. We demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the institution of human dignity. We give examples of legislative protection of the right to dignity of an individual from a number of branches of Russian and foreign law. We reveal the incompleteness of both the doctrinal understanding and the legislative regulation of personal rights, including the right to the dignity of the person, which, as a general principle, figure only as objects of protection from state and legal means (mechanisms). In addition, these rights have their potential for the full realization of the personality in the process of social and legal life, and therefore it is necessary to create wider regulatory opportunities for this legal institution. The achievement of the goals of a correct understanding and regulation of the right to human dignity (as well as other personal rights) will be facilitated by the use of an interdisciplinary scientific approach in the process of scientific and practical research of this subject. We offer arguments that indicate the relevance of an interdisciplinary study of the right to human dignity.
