German Parliament Upholds Human Dignity
Amendment to Basic Law: Protecting Human Dignity Paramount
In a landmark move, the German Parliament has overwhelmingly passed an amendment to the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), reinforcing the inviolable nature of human dignity.
"The dignity of the human being shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority," the amendment states. This powerful statement places the protection of human dignity as a paramount principle in German law.
The amendment was sparked by concerns that the human dignity clause in the existing Basic Law was not strong enough to protect individuals from violations of their fundamental rights. The new amendment explicitly states that state authorities have a duty to respect and protect human dignity.
The passage of this amendment is a significant step towards ensuring that human dignity is upheld in all aspects of German law and policy. It sends a clear message that the German people and government value and protect the rights of all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances.
