Human dignity is one of the fundamental principles of human rights. It has been recognized in the light of philosophical as well as international theories and perspectives. Accordingly, all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, and everyone is entitled to all international human rights without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. For this reason, today inherent dignity is regarded as one of the natural rights of mankind. From a philosophical viewpoint, human dignity is recognized in the Islamic perspective. At the international level, many documents and instruments, esp. at the United Nations system, have adopted the concrete norm of inherent dignity. From an interdisciplinary approach, the contemporary system of international human rights law has witnessed the recognition of a victimological attitude to the human dignity according to which fair treatment is defined as a fundamental rights of victims. This principle requires that a person is recognized a victim regardless of whether the perpetrator is identified, apprehended, prosecuted or convicted and regardless of the familial relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, as well as without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, age, language, religion, nationality, political or other opinion, cultural beliefs or practices, property, birth or family status, ethnic or social origin, and disability.
