Human dignity is a central value in all legal traditions. It also plays an essential role in the universal and regional protection of human rights. This paper recovers Kantian classic treatment of dignity and offers a contemporary reading that will help us to deal with current problems. The jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights uses the idea of human dignity to justify many of its decisions. The Latin American democracies, in spite of some fragilities inherited from their recent turbulent history, show strength and importance of dignity for guarantee of human rights.
