"However, as is noted by Klaus Dicke, despite the widespread reference to the notion of dignity, its “legitimizing function .. can only be translated into political or legal reasoning if a set of regulative principles, governing the relationship between dignity and righs, is applied”. In order for dignity to provide meaningful guidance to judges, law-makers (or anyone else) regarding the scope, acceptance and development of concrete rights, including the right to privacy, a number of matters need to be resolved, including the meaning and justification of dignity."
