HUMAN DIGNITY AND MIGRANTS IN THE CASE LAW OF THE ECTHR AND CJEU: EMBRYONIC CHARACTER OF THE JURISPRUDENTIAL "DIALOGUE" BETWEEN THE TWO COURTS

This editorial aims to examine possible elements of convergence in the highly complex and contested use of the concept of (human) dignity, particularly in light of the judicial practice of the European Court of Human Right (ECtHR) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on migrants, in the so-called discontinuous "dialogue" between the two European Courts. The editorial will analyze some jurisprudential trends in the case law of the ECtH and of the CJEU on the issue of human dignity as the basis and source of respect for the rights and freedoms of migrants.
