Human Dignity in Croatia

Abstract

In the liberal legal system of the Republic of Croatia, the Constitutional Court affirmed that even extremely serious public interests cannot justify interference with the core area of private life, which is protected as absolutely inviolable by the guarantee of human dignity. The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia holds that human dignity is absolutely protected and nonderogable and cannot be compared. The principle of human dignity serves as protection against aggression from and domination by other subjects. The understanding that human dignity constitutes a limitation on each individual's liberty is not accepted.
