国家尊严与人的尊严

National Dignity and Human Dignity

在法西斯统治之下,人被异化为国家实现权力集中的手段,进而成为被独裁者操纵的暴力工具,"国家尊严""民族尊严"成为践踏个人尊严、实现独裁统治的道义力量和煽动口号。在当代法治中,"人的尊严"是人类汲取战争教训的积极成果,并已成为国际法准则和许多国家的宪法原则,成为所有人权的价值依据和伦理基础。国家尊严与人的尊严之间是一种既相得益彰、又相互拮抗的辩证关系。这种关系对法治国家和公民行为都具有指导意义,警示我们既要维护国家尊严,也要严格保护个人尊严。

Under the rule of the Fascists,“national dignity”and “ethical dignity”became a moral force and an inciting slogan,with which the fascists manipulated the people and trampled upon human dignity.After the Second World War,“human dignity”has become not only the norm of international law and the constitu-tional principle of many countries,but also the value basis and the ethical justification for all human rights.Re-calling this period of history,we can safely say that the relationship between national dignity and human dignity is both complementary and mutually antagonistic.The relationship warns us that we should not only safeguard national dignity,but strictly protect human dignity as well.
