Dignity Principles
The concept of global dignity includes the following five principles:
-
Every human being has a right to lead a dignified life.
-
A dignified life means an opportunity to fulfill one’s potential, which is based on having a human level of health care, education, income and security.
-
Dignity means having the freedom to make decisions on one’s life and to be met with respect for this right.
-
Dignity should be the basic guiding principle for all actions.
-
Ultimately, our own dignity is interdependent with the dignity of others.
