| Research Abstract |
1. While studying my thema I was engaged in an inquiry into human dignity which is a basic thought of human rights, and also into the right of pursuit of happiness of the article 13. Japanese Constitution.
2. Concerning the right of pursuit of happiness I had an opportunity to report "the structure of the right of pursuit of happiness" and wrote it in Public Law Review No.58. There I considered what kind of rights can be regarded as new constitutional rights, and concluded that the right of pursuit of happiness guarantees a free decision of individuals about oneself, that the freedom of self-determination implies all personal activities, and that such a free determination stems from liberalism in 19. century.
3. Concerning new problems of the principle of human dignity I studied a theory of duty of a state to protect human rights, a way of protection of the right to take trial, guarantee of the right to live. I also studied a judicial review which sustains guarantee of human rights : a historical development of japanese judicial review, its practical function, some problems in constitutional decisions of Japanese Supreme Court, how to activate japanese judicial review.
4 On the whole my study about "the human dignity and neu problems of human rights" was going so well that I could obtain good results.
