Ochrona godności jednostki na gruncie polskiego prawa karnego

Abstract

The doctoral dissertation addresses the issue of the principle of respect for the dignity of the individual in the context of the ethical legitimization of criminal law, derived from the concept of the so-called criminal law of values. In contrast to most doctoral dissertations in the field of substantive criminal law, which focus on an in-depth analysis of a single selected type of offense, the author analyzes a larger number of prohibited acts, which she considers through the prism of applying the principle of respect for dignity in the development of legal norms, as well as in the interpretation of existing ones. This is because the aim of the dissertation is to incorporate the principle of respect for human dignity into the analysis of the structure of individual prohibited acts relating to behaviors that violate human dignity in order to answer the question of whether the current regulations remain consistent with the principle of respect for human dignity and adequately protect that dignity.
