Protecția dreptului la demnitate în cauzele civile
Protection of the right to dignity in civil cases

Summary/Abstract: Dignity, in its capacity as inseparable characteristic of the human being, implies respect, erga omnes opposability as well as protection in the relationship with the State and with other persons. The interaction between the physical and the mental makes it so that prejudicing one of them has repercussions upon the other one. It is in terms of this protection of human dignity that the author examines the legislation and the legal practice in Romania. She compares them to the international norms and standards, in terms of the moral prejudices related to torture or inhuman or degrading treatments, ethnic discrimination, the victims of judicial errors, freedom of expression, violence against children, infantile pornography, violence against women, sexual harassment, employment discrimination. The analysis finds there is consonance with international norms and standards but also some shortcomings, at the level of the institutionalized system of education and prevention, as well as the absence of penal incrimination as self-standing crimes of the deeds referred to by art. 11 letter c in the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery.
