But it also has its limitations. Advocate General Jacobs stated in 1993, the constitutional traditions of the Member States in general allow for the conclusion that there exists a principle according to which the State must respect not only the individual's physical well-being, but also his dignity, moral integrity and sense of personal identity.197 In a second case, interpreting the Community Directive prohibiting sex discrimination in employment, in which it was held that the Directive prohibited dismissal from employment on the basis of a person's transsexuality, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) stated that to tolerate such discrimination would be tantamount, as regards such a person, to a failure to respect the dignity and freedom to which he or she is entitled, and which the Court has a duty to safeguard.198 In Omega, the Court held that the Community legal order undeniably strives to ensure respect for human dignity as a general principle of law.199, The judiciary in several national jurisdictions enthusiastically further the incorporation and use of dignity in domestic rights discourse.200 The concept of dignity was introduced into United States Supreme Court jurisprudence by the two justices most influenced by labour thinking (Frankfurter and Murphy JJ) and Catholic thinking (Murphy J) in the immediate post-War period.201 Indeed, that tradition continued most prominently in the opinions of Brennan J who was also strongly influenced by both Catholic and labour thinking, and was also the justice most associated with the concept of dignity.202 Since then, the Supreme Court has used the concept of human dignity in the interpretation of the Eighth Amendment,203 the Due Process Clause,204 the extent of privacy rights in the abortion context,205 and in First Amendment free speech cases.206 More recently, justices have referred to personal dignity in striking down legal prohibitions on homosexual sodomy,207 and the dignity of man in prohibiting the execution of those who are mentally retarded.208, Even in countries where dignity had been earlier incorporated but removed (such as in the Canadian Bill of Rights), the courts continued to use the idea of dignity to interpret the new Charter of rights, indeed building it into a central principle of adjudication.209 In other jurisdictions, the courts anticipated the introduction of human dignity into legal texts. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. Although a more specific common theory going beyond the minimum core content was not necessary for the political acceptance of the Charter and the Universal Declaration, or for the acceptance of the subsequent human rights texts at the international, regional, and domestic levels, and attempts to generate one might well have been counter-productive, this did not help much when it came to the judicial interpretation of those specific rights that were enacted.

Jewish exegesis did not finish with the redaction of the Talmud, but continued during ancient times, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; it remains a subject of study today. I am not arguing that there is no more precise conception of human dignity that is possible beyond this minimum content. Dignity can, additionally, be seen as itself a right or obligation with specific content, and not only as the basis for human rights in general, or a catalogue of specific rights. The Chief Justice held that it was not discriminatory in part because there was no breach of the individual's dignity; rather, the reverse: [t]he evidence shows that the regime set up under the Social Aid Act sought to promote the self-sufficiency and autonomy of young welfare recipients through their integration into the productive work force, and to combat the pernicious side effects of unemployment and welfare dependency.

Ibid., Art. In his opinion for the Court, Kennedy J drew on foreign material, apparently demonstrating that the United States is the only country in the world that continues to give official sanction to the juvenile death penalty,284 to support a determination that such uses of capital punishment are unconstitutional under the US Constitution.285 He stressed, too, that such information has relatively frequently been used by the Court as instructive for its interpretation of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments.286, No doubt anticipating an attack on his use of these sources, the relevant section of his opinion ended with his reflection on the question whether the use of foreign material in some way undermined the independent role of the Court in interpreting the Constitution.

Post has picked up the potential limits which dignity arguments may introduce, and argues that modern American anti-discrimination law should not be conceived, as is commonly supposed, as protecting the dignity of individuals but, rather, as attempting to transform social practices which define and sustain potentially oppressive categories such as race or gender.340 This is not to argue that grounding the anti-discrimination principle in distributive justice is uncontroversial; simply that the Canadian approach, grounding it in dignity, has not escaped fundamental criticisms and remains a contested strategy.
