##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The term of human dignity in a legal system of a democratic state is used in two aspects: as a principle, underlying the system of human rights, and as a subject of independent law. In both cases it is defined as value – biological and social. This article aims at a complex examination of human dignity in theoretical and practical aspects and defining it as a legal category. Norms of international documents and national legal acts, which consolidate the right to dignity and its protection, are explained and interpreted, issues related to human dignity, such as various aspects of acquiring the right to dignity and its protection (the said aspects have never been subject to scientific research, however they are of assistance when revealing a content of the term of dignity and problematic aspects of terminology)are analyzed therein.
