Abstract

While in Poland the October 2023 elections led to a government halting the rule of law crisis, in Hungary the political situation continues to deteriorate. Focusing on European Parliament resolutions, this article analyses Hungarian developments from the prism of human dignity, the EU's first foundational value under Article 2 TEU. First the article discusses the key features of human dignity with reference to the original commitment to human dignity under the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to the EU Charter. Secondly, it uses these key features as an analytical grid for evidencing the construction of a counter-model of human beings made to live in a society of inequality and exclusion. Finally, this paper outlines five reasons why human dignity as the first Article 2 value is breached by the Hungarian regime and why the EU Commission's decision not to trigger Article 7(2) is so problematic.

匈牙利对人类尊严的攻击：欧盟条约》第 2 条与欧盟的民主基础

波兰在 2023 年 10 月的选举中产生了一个制止法治危机的政府，而匈牙利的政治局势却在继续恶化。本文以欧洲议会决议为重点，从人的尊严--《欧盟宪章》（TEU）第 2 条规定的欧盟第一项基本价值观--的角度分析了匈牙利的事态发展。首先，文章参照 1948 年《世界人权宣言》和《欧盟宪章》对人的尊严的最初承诺，讨论了人的尊严的主要特征。其次，文章以这些关键特征为分析框架，证明了在不平等和排斥的社会中构建人类的反模式。最后，本文概述了人类尊严作为第 2 条的第一项价值受到匈牙利政权侵犯的五个原因，以及欧盟委员会不启动第 7(2)条的决定存在问题的原因。
