The paper explores the notion of human dignity in law in general and in criminal law in particular, it examines whether human dignity is a legal interest protected by criminal law (e.g., in cases of criminalisation of reproductive cloning and acts of racism), and it reflects upon how criminal law may jeopardise the human dignity of perpetrators, particularly in cases of penalisation of drug use and police entrapment.
