Strategic Litigation

Strategic litigation is a powerful tool for achieving regulatory change and ensuring the protection of the right to a dignified death. Through landmark cases and the submission of amicus curiae briefs, Plataforma Dignidad seeks to influence case law and establish precedents that strengthen individual autonomy and dignity at the end of life.

This line of action enables us to highlight barriers, challenge unjust regulations, and propose concrete solutions that promote the recognition and advancement of the right to a dignified death—particularly in contexts where the criminalization of medically assisted dying persists.
