Abstract
The Bill of Rights of the South African Constitution of 1996 envisages a society of
human dignity, both in its preamble and in article 10. The logic seems to be that the
fulfilment of human rights will imply the actualisation of a society of dignity. This
paper investigates the role that both theory-formation about the implementation of
human rights and lawmaking processes that enhance the implementation of human
rights, can play in the realisation of a society of human dignity.
