'South Africa's Battle for Human Dignity'
by Henning Melber
Summary:
The Constitution of South Africa has been a marker for promoting and protecting
human dignity. The constitutional law and the Constitutional Court as its
guardian have left a strong imprint on society.
Recalling some of the most principled judgments is an impressive reminder that a
Constitution and the pursuance of a rights-based approach do matter despite
shortcomings in the implementation.
Comparing the constitutional ideals and the social realities reveals that the
efforts of bringing about a more just, fair and human society remain an uphill
battle.
The fight for democracy, human rights, dignity and justice will continue. The
success of a constitutional democracy loyal to human dignity requires citizens
to stand up and claim their rights.
