Summary/Abstract: The social historians and anthropologists presented the concept of honour and shame as the values of Mediterranean society. However, the concepts of honour and shame can be detected in various spheres of social interaction as well as in different cultures around the world. Traditional customs of hospitality are a sphere where one can experience honour or suffer shame and dishonour. The customs of hospitality include traditional legal institutions, the asylum and the safe escort. Although the institutions of asylum and escort are now in the domain of the international law, they are also a part of the common legal tradition.
