How to define and protect the dignity of women in armed conflict? This study attempts to understand the issues and dilemmas of the right to dignity and of questions of diversity in international humanitarian law through the example of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The author proposes an alternative approach to the right to dignity, which in international humanitarian law is primarily associated with women's sexuality. This alternative approach would engage more directly with the debates around social diversity that are occluded in times of war.

Efforts to address the “paradox of autonomy in long-term care” attempt to salvage an ethic of autonomy by redefining the central concept, and then applying it to the long-term care environment. Such attempts are critiqued, and an alternative ethic of dignity for long-term care is developed. Autonomy, it is argued, is crucial to certain aspects of dignity, but should not be confused with the whole of it. Indeed, long after the capacity for autonomy has diminished or vanished, basic dignity continues to exert normative force.
