Abstract
La dignidad humana es un valor central en todas las tradiciones jurídicas.
También desempeña una función primordial en los sistemas universales, regionales
y nacionales de protección de los derechos humanos. En este trabajo se
recupera el tratamiento clásico kantiano de la dignidad y se ofrece una lectura
contemporánea que nos ayuda a afrontar problemas actuales. La jurisprudencia
de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos utiliza la idea de la dignidad
humana para justificar muchas de sus decisiones. Las democracias latinoamericanas,
a pesar de algunas fragilidades heredadas de su reciente historia convulsa,
muestran la fuerza e importancia que tiene la dignidad para la garantía de
los derechos humanos.
