GAMONAL CONTRERAS, SERGIO  y  PINO EMHART, ALBERTO. The Role of Human Dignity in Private Law: An Interpretation from the Concept of Dignity as Status. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.45-72.  Epub 30-Ago-2022. ISSN 0123-4366.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n43.03.

The article aims to claim that the notion of human dignity can play a relevant role in private law, both in civil law and labor law. It is argued that Jeremy Waldron's understanding of the concept of human dignity as a rank or status can provide a concrete content to the concept, forbidding any humiliating or degrading treatment to any human person. Then, the article analyzes some projections that can be articulated from this interpretation in the context of the law of contracts, the law of torts and labor law.

Palabras clave : human dignity; private law; Waldron; dignity as status; degrading treatment.
