Bratiloveanu * Izabela Bratiloveanu Faculty of Law and Administrative Sciences, University of Craiova, Craiova, Romania *Correspondence: Bratiloveanu Izabela, Craiova, 8 Horia St., Bl. E2, sc. 2, ap.2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In current society, where the gap between rich and poor is widening 1, human dignity is invoked very frequently in relation to socio-economic rights. We analyze in this study the jurisprudence of the Romanian Constitutional Court and the recent jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. Keywords : human dignity, socio-economic rights. Introduction Today, the poor are considered human beings who are in a position of vulnerability. Fighting against poverty and social exclusion that accompanies it is now a struggle for recognition of the poor as human beings and members of society as worthy as everyone else. To recognize the other as equal in dignity involves treating him with respect and being united with him. Every man therefore appears as “stems from a normative relationship with himself and all the other people at the same time” as far as dignity is accompanied by a “recognition order”2, an “obligation of action”3
