If one were to specify this right (to respect for one’s dignity as a human) more precisely, it would be important to address questions of intent (or the alleged wrongdoer) and effect (upon the alleged victim). For example, it might be argued that the sufficient conditions for such an affront to human dignity are: either (a) that the wrongdoer, knowing (or suspecting) that the victim is a human being (or has the relevant human capacity), intentionally (or recklessly) fails to acknowledge the latter as being such; or (b) that the wrongdoer, without realizing (or suspecting) that the victim is a human being (or has the relevant human capacity), nevertheless fails to acknowledge the latter as human.
