Abstract
In 2021, the National Taskforce for Human Rights Leadership report included a recommendation that a new human rights framework in Scotland should recognise human dignity as the underpinning value of all human rights. This builds on ‘dignity’ as used in international human rights law and on dignity language used in law and policy in Scotland, including in the National Performance Framework. The research aimed to help understand any risks and opportunities in engaging with dignity language in public and civil society discourse around the new framework. In this way, it aimed to contribute to an evidence base that could inform strategies seeking to support a transformed and sustainable human rights culture.
