Abstract

The study below focuses on how the legal concept of human dignity is introduced in Romania’s Constitution and in the country’s Civil Code and Criminal Code.The concept of human dignity considered is one defined by the Charter for Fundamental Rights of the European Union, Title I: Dignity, namely Articles 1–5, operationalized—for the research needs—as a list of 15 items.The results prove that human dignity is reflected well in Romania’s principal legislation. Each of the 15 items is regulated in the mentioned sources, and the regulation’s content is fully compliant with international standards.The question remaining for further studies is: Why did the best legal standards not produce the best results in society’s behaviour?
