Abstract
This Handbook provides advocates, lawyers, judges, and others with the tools they need to advance the dignity of all persons, including the most vulnerable among us. It shows that dignity is central and essential to law throughout the world. It shows that dignity rights – the rights that flow from the recognition of human dignity – are relevant to how people self-identify, to how they interact with others, to how they live day-to-day, and to how they participate in important decisions in their social and political communities. And it shows that human dignity is inalienable: all people are entitled to be treated with dignity, no matter what.
