'The Rule of Law and Human Dignity': The 2011 Sir David Williams Lecture - Professor Jeremy Waldron

[@RetroResearch]

Dignity is the regard for the individual upon which may rest a free and honorable society--honorable in that it reflects good faith and goodwill.

Woah- I'm 15 minutes in- floored with your definition of dignity Professor- I have to pause you tube and take a break to think

[@c.kainoabugado7935]

Interesting first exposure to dignity related to law or I guess legal dignity like mentioned. His definition helps to understand dignity in general better. Appreciate speaking on differences between the US & UK systems and the points the speaker opposes in the US system and practices.

Much appreciated in helping me understand better a verse in the Koran. Allah (swt) has declared that He has honored Mankind: "And indeed We have honored the Children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with At-Taiyibat (lawful good things), and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preference. (Al-Isra 17:70)". Allah uses the word "Karama" which in translation the words that can come closer is Honor and dignity. But the word has a deeper meaning which includes holiness of his person, honor, and property as being inviolable. I wholly agree with your statement that Human Dignity should be the cornerstone of law. Again much appreciated for the enlightenment.

Constitutional Law and Human Rights in Turkey: Commentary by exiled Turkish judge Aydin Yavuz @

[@chancebutler6472]

this is lovely and im learning a lot thank you very much. can we all please keep in mind though... if you let oil companies/mental governors(same thing) make the roads youre gonna wind up with 30 zones everywhere huffing diesel all day then dying. LIKE WE DO NOW. red lights every block making sure no one can ever stop wasting all their gas and braking over and over and over losing everything.. while the non slave class is flying around in antigravity......... all because some old pricks couldnt imagine anything better in life and forced everyone else to wallow in their misery with them. if you slide around on waterslide aqueducts youd produce energy and go a lot faster never using oil for asecond.... for starters......................................................... not to mention if you captured the heat that all slave combustion engines waste, for a couple minutes you could be flying around easy if it wasnt for slave laws preventing that too. same goes for the di poles that ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS lose constantly and throw all their energy away too. the laws only mask these cons and much more

I think the right to dignity should be argued upon in a certain context. For example, it gives me great pleasure when I take notice of someone homeless, bathing in his/her own urine who has been a child molester, rapist, terrorist etc I don't like to afford such arseholes any dignity. In just terms, human rights and dignity is reserved for those who demonstrate humane behaviour. - Rape culture is prominent in Koalas - Incest in dogs - Killing innocent humans in lions, crocodiles etc

Sorry, it's unfortunate that this otherwise fairly decent lecture is MARRED by the excessively loud applause and the intermittent COUGHING and SNEEZING...by some in the audience.
