Human Dignity in Criminal Law and International Documents

Inherent human dignity, which is opposite to acquired dignity, is so important in the international system of human rights and international documents that it is recognized as the basis of human rights, privileges and duties, to the extent that even the realization of values such as justice, freedom and equality without It is not possible. This dignity is also extremely important in criminal law. This dignity plays a fundamental role in the formation, modification and change, interpretation and justification, legitimacy or illegitimacy of criminal rules. The inherent dignity of human beings standardizes and institutionalizes the stages of criminalization and criminal proceedings and prevents the unnecessary and discriminatory intervention of criminal law in the freedom of behavior of citizens. By providing standards and criteria such as justice, freedom of expression, equality and fairness and prohibiting cruel and inhumane, arbitrary and disproportionate punishments and punishments, as well as prohibiting punishment and double trial, torture and harassment and generally using criminals and victims of crime in Criminal proceedings limit the absolute and exclusive criminal sovereignty of states and provide the ground for further convergence in the process of globalization of criminal law.
