Abstract
Improving society through the decisions of the Human Rights Committee on the protection of human dignity
Highlights
The Human Rights Committee (HRC) force the provisions of the International Convent of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms and its decisions form a separate human rights protection system
The results of researching shows the largest number of cases establishing violation of human dignity (52.08%) refer to ICCPR, Art. 7 which reads: “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
Art. 10 para 1 was violated in 40% the cases where the HRC established infringement on the account of violation of human dignity: horrible prison conditions, physical punishment and torture, failure to provide medical assistance and treatment, enforced disappearance, being shackled while incarcerated with no food and water, etc.)since these actions violate inherent human dignity protected by Art. 10 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which reads: “All persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person (U.N.T.S., 1976: no. 14668, vol 999, p. 171).”
Summary
The Human Rights Committee (HRC) force the provisions of the International Convent of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms and its decisions form a separate human rights protection system. Starting from the assumption that the dignity of each individual must be respected in all life circumstances and that the HRC with its objective and just assessment of facts and evidence in interpreting the ICCPR provisions helps change legal systems of state parties, I will endeavour to objectively assess the influence of the HRC recommendations on improving the legal systems of state parties to protect human dignity, as an ethical value and the source of human rights. I will endeavour to determine whether the conceptualisation of the term of dignity extends the structure of human rights in legal and sociological elements. The main goal of the research is to determine the impact of the HRC case law and its recommendations is seen in the individualisation and conceptualisation of the notion of dignity creating new levels of protection for human dignity by individualising specific circumstances. The third part section will present the research conducted with its findings and the discussion thereof, and end with conclusions
