Abstract
This article is dedicated to different and common characteristics of defamation laws in Europe and Azerbaijani jurisdiction from both practice and theory perceptions. The study focuses on the intricate interplay between human dignity, honor, and defamation law, striving to elucidate the tangible applications of these concepts within legal paradigms. Through a detailed examination of the deployment of human dignity and honor within the legal sphere, the research aims to uncover various legal perceptions that emphasize protecting these fundamental human values. The exploration is not limited to theoretical postulations but extends to the practical perspectives that shape legal constructs and decisions. By identifying diverse applications and interpretations of the concepts of human dignity and honor within different legal contexts, this analysis contributes to the broader understanding of how these notions are protected and manifested within the law.
