One of the basic ideas in human rights documents is the principle of human dignity, which has been mentioned in all human rights documents since World War II; but there is no general international consensus on its meaning, criteria, and judicial and interpretive procedures. In this regard, the article seeks to examine the issue of human dignity in the human rights discourse by using documentary-library studies and analyticaldescriptive methods. The main question of the article is as follows; Are the principles of human dignity in international human rights documents contrary to criteria of human decency? The hypothesis of the article is that human dignity, as an important principle in human rights documents, lacked public consensus. In interpretive approaches to international law, there are different semantic implications of it. Some findings suggest that human dignity is based on principles such as freedom, equality, and the right to development, security and protection of the fundamental core of people’s lives, quality of life and social welfare. And some actions in human society are inconsistent with the principle of human dignity, honor and dignity including torture, humiliation, religious discrimination, violation of women’s rights, neglect of children and vulnerable groups, denial of rights. These actions and behaviors are contrary to the principle of human dignity, and international and regional human rights documents emphasize the rejection of this behavior by governments.
