LAFFERRIERE, Jorge Nicolás  y  LELL, Helga. Towards a systematization of the semantic uses of the concept of human dignity in the international protection of human rights: a doctrinal review. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2020, n.43, pp.129-167.  Epub 13-Dic-2021. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2020.43.15181.

This article is part of a research project that analyzes the semantic variety that have been provided to the term “dignity” in cases and opinions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. This implies departing from the hypothesis that this variety of meanings exists and that the study of this topic is relevant because it allows clarifying the impact of the positions taken on concreting rights.

The paper we present here constitutes a first approach to the state of the matter from a review of the doctrinal positions regarding which meanings the term “dignity” may have. To do so, we emphasize in norms and jurisprudence in the matter of human rights. This review is useful in order to make a proposal for systematization and classification of these possible uses for future research work.

Palabras llave : dignity; Inter-American Human Rights Court; semantics systematization.
