Constitutional enshrinement of dignity does not guarantee solidarity in practice

Evidence

The illustrations contained in this book, albeit limited in scope, show that solidarity and sympathy are not guaranteed by being enshrined in the European or national constitutions. Rather they are conditional and ambiguous , insuffi cient values for the protection of human dignity. The idea of ‘equal human dignity’ is enshrined in many national and international charters, but, in practice, dignity/indignity take complex forms and manifestations. — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 746
