Garantarea demnității umane în jurisprudența Curții Constituționale a Republicii Moldova
The Guarantee of Human Dignity in the Case-Law of the Constitutional Court of Republic of Moldova

Summary/Abstract: Human dignity is listed among the fundamental values that are reference points for the constitutional system of the Republic of Moldova. Dignity is an inalienable attribute of the individual, a value that constitutes the basis of all human rights and prohibits any humiliating or degrading attitude towards the individual. Every human being deserves to be respected unconditionally, dignity being part of the essence of human rights. Therefore, human dignity cannot be affected in cases of restricting the exercise of a fundamental right. In its case-law regarding the amount of the minimum wage, the Constitutional Court established that human dignity is not compatible with poverty and, therefore, the state authorities cannot claim to have taken into account the dignity of its citizens when the minimum wage does not allow the individual to cross the poverty threshold.
