The Reality of the Human Dignity Principle in the Framework of the Egyptian Legal System

Abstract

The principle of human dignity has been evolving along history. It has been understood and explained within the context of cultural, ethical, and religious conditions. The Egyptian legal system clearly recognizes this principle in various legal texts related to the respect of international treaties of human rights; however, in reality, it is not effectively implemented. This paper discusses the recognition of the human dignity principle in the Egyptian legal system and the obstacles that impede its effective implementation.
