DIGNIDAD HUMANA Y PRINCIPIO “PRO HÓMINE” EN LOS LITIGIOS SOBRE DERECHOS HUMANOS

Abstract

In the Constitutional Rule of Law, the relationship between the individual and the State is increasingly based on the centrality of the former, which finds its foundation in human dignity and that projects its consequences in all dimensions of human life (personal, social and transcendental). In this context, the relevance of the pro homine principle is unquestionable for the purposes of the resolution of disputes involving human rights. The projection of such principle over the Administration’s duties is particularly interesting, considering that the Administration exists and acts pursuant to its characteristic essential services.
