Накратко на български
Международната защита на човешките права се разглежда като част от глобалните конституционни правила, например при ограничаването на властта на световно ниво. Това помага за разбирането на начина, по който се контролира властта и се преодолява западният поглед върху международното право.

International Protection of Human Rights as a Constitutional Issue: Promises, Problems and Prospects
The project’s main research objective was the examination of the role played by human rights within theories of international constitutionalism. This examination aimed to be a critical endeavor that will inform future development of issues related to the constraints on the exercise of power at the global level. Within this framework the project also aimed to deconstruct Western bias in the scholarship on constitutionalisation of international law and propose alternatives. The main output of the project is a monograph on Human Rights and International Constitutionalism by the fellow, Ekaterina Yahyaoui Krivenko to be published with Cambridge University Press. In order to achieve this main research objective, the project contained a series of intermediary goals that all were achieved successfully. The fellow published or is in process of publishing four articles in peer-reviewed journals, as planned and also presented at important international academic conferences in excess of the planned number. These conference presentations and engagement with various academic initiatives resulted in additional non-planned publications in the form of book chapters. The fellow also published a paper intended for general audience and policy makers that uses insights gained from the project within the particular context of the private sponsorship of refugees programme. HUMCONST also contributed to knowledge transfer through a workshop that was organized and attended by a number of international scholars addressing the issues related to the role of human rights as power-taming devices. The project provided innovative insights into the following issues: - the methodological question of interdisciplinary research within international law and the limits of language; - relationship between the understanding of the political and the development of theories of global constitutionalism; - the position of individuals in international law; - historical and cross-cultural analysis of global constitutionalism

Цел на проекта
International law is distinguished from other branches of law by the fact that States as its principal subjects are not only the addressees of law, but also creators of legal rules and guarantors of their enforcement. The idea of international constitutionalism attempts to place some constraints on the power exercised by States. Human rights form today a core of any Western constitutional order. However, the role of international human rights within international constitutionalism is articulated only rudimentarily. The project aims at filling this gap by analyzing current discourses on international constitutionalism and human rights in literature and jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice through an interdisciplinary and critical lens. Theoretically sound, practice- and policy- oriented proposals as to the more adequate articulation of the relationship between human rights and international constitutionalism will be formulated. In order to fulfill the aims of the project methodological tool developed in history, philosophy and sociology will be used. In order to seek new avenues for a more adequate fulfillment of human rights’ promise of protection the project will seek inspiration in non-western (Islamic law) and extra-legal (ancient Greece) normative orders.Through funding of research the grant will support successful integration of a promising academic into European research community and her establishment as a leading specialist in the field of human rights. It will also promote establishment of a research team and widening of the international network of the researcher. The Grant will thus contribute to the growing excellence of European research community and establishment of lasting collaboration with extra-European academic institutions.
