Constitutions without Borders, or Can Constitutions Protect Human Rights in the Absence of Political Sovereignty?
Constitutions not only create blueprints for government, frameworks for protecting negotiated rights, and baselines for testing national laws. For increasing numbers of forcibly displaced communities around the world, constitutions not tethered to political sovereignty can protect identity and may even guard against cultural extermination. Ultimately stateless constitutions may challenge our basic concepts of the nation state.
Christie S. Warren serves as the 2024 – 2025 Fulbright-Lund Distinguished Chair in Public International Law at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute and the Lund University Faculty of Law.
She has advised on legal, judicial, and academic programs in over 58 countries and previously served as the 2016-2017 Fulbright Schuman Distinguished Chair at the European University Institute. She served as Visiting Professor at universities in Madrid and Rome and as the Senior Expert in Constitutional Issues for the United Nations Department of Political Affairs.
