Abstract
The development of a new statutory human rights framework in Scotland provides a contemporary window on a process of national incorporation of international human rights law and, within this, on the potential contribution of ‘dignity’ as an underpinning value. Since 2018 I have been closely involved in research and discussions in this area, including as a member of an Academic Advisory Panel to Scotland’s National Taskforce on Human Rights Leadership (2020-2021).
