The author hypothesizes that modern law, which is in the conditions of the crisis of anthropohumanism, can receive fundamental support through the concept of the "human dimension" – a model in which the individual becomes the highest value and source of legitimacy of legal order. Based on the analysis of the works of Russian and foreign jurists, it is argued that respect, trust and equality act as functional mechanisms of legal regulation. Particular attention is paid to legal advantages as instruments of proportionate differentiation, reflecting the hierarchy of social values. The loss of confidence in international human rights mechanisms and the growth of the positivist paradigm are critically understood. It is summarized that law without a value foundation is dehumanized, turning into a technical regulator. The strategic need for a human-centric approach to build a just, sustainable and humane law and order in conditions of social and spiritual disintegration is emphasized.
