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.
