Manifesto for the Preservation of Human Dignity

Preamble:
In recognition of the principles and values commonly shared by the United Nations and its Member States, particularly the inalienable human dignity enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I call for an urgent return to a culture of equality, respect, and the universal application of human rights. Human dignity is non-negotiable. It must not be relativized or diminished. However, in today's world, human dignity is increasingly at risk. This violation not only has individual consequences but also threatens social peace and the foundation of global solidarity.

Article 1: The Inviolability of Human Dignity
Human dignity is indivisible and inviolable. It forms the foundational principle of all rights and freedoms universally recognized as essential to humanity. This dignity is not undermined by origin, gender, race, religion, political belief, or social status. Any form of discrimination or dehumanization violates the universal right to respect for human dignity.

Article 2: The Responsibility of Individuals
Every person bears the responsibility to respect the dignity of others. Actions and words aimed at demeaning or excluding others are morally indefensible and must be confronted. It is essential that individuals critically reflect on their behavior and recognize the inviolable dignity of every person.

Article 3: The Role of Society and Institutions
Societies and institutions are called upon to create structures that guarantee the protection and promotion of human dignity. Discrimination, exploitation, and inequality must have no place in a just society. Every law, political decision, and societal practice must align with the protection of human dignity.

Article 4: The Global Context
The inviolable human dignity is a universal principle that knows no geographic, cultural, or political boundaries. The challenges affecting human dignity – such as poverty, racism, violence, exclusion, and social injustice – must be addressed globally. All nations of the world are obligated to uphold this responsibility, and their international commitments must never conflict with the universal protection of human dignity.

Article 5: The Obligation to Civil Courage
The preservation of human dignity requires not refraining from injustice but actively participating in the fight against it. Civil courage must become the norm, both in personal and public spheres. Inaction in the face of injustice contributes to dehumanization and must be understood as a societal failure.

Article 6: The Ethical Duty to Change
Every person is called upon to actively engage in changing a culture of indifference and disregard for human dignity. In every decision and action, respect for human dignity and the recognition of universal human rights must be the foundation of all conduct.

Conclusion:
The world can no longer exist in a state where human dignity is vulnerable. It is up to all of us to create a culture of respect and responsibility and to stand against the growing dehumanization. Human dignity is the foundation of a just and peaceful world – and this foundation must be protected to ensure the survival and well-being of humanity.
