Dignity intransition: the constitutional and operational potential and limits of human dignity seen from the lens of post-conflict societies Universiteit Antwerpen
This article explores the meaning and status of human dignity in a post-conflict context through, primarily albeit not exclusively, an examination of Kosovo's experience. The content and contours of the 2008 Kosovo Constitution were most naturally shaped by its past, formed by a state of conflict and further non-consensual bloody dissolution of the remainder of the former Yugoslav federation, superseded by an interim UN-led territorial ...

Requests for Euthanasia in Belgian Prisons. Between Mental Suffering, Human Dignity and the Death Penalty Vrije Universiteit Brussel
En Belgique, l'euthanasie peut être appliquée légalement par des médecins à la demande expresse et répétée d'un patient qui se trouve dans une situation médicale sans issue et fait état d'une souffrance physique ou psychique constante et insupportable qui ne peut être apaisée et qui résulte d'une affection accidentelle ou pathologique grave et incurable. Au cours des deux dernières années, 17 demandes d'euthanasie ont été formulées par des ...
