Abstract
Human dignity is a legal category that emerged in the 20th century due to the experiences of World War II and totalitarianism. Today, it is a recurring theme in international and national laws, including constitutions. In Poland, public authorities are mandated to uphold and safeguard dignity. The Constitution of the Republic of Poland elevates the concept of dignity to a legal norm that guides the actions of public authorities. The Constitutional Tribunal has made several statements about dignity, which provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject from various perspectives. This article explores the jurisprudential perspective that has shaped the constitutional approach to dignity in Poland, focusing on the Polish jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal, which is influenced by comparative law.
