Rainer Hofmann and I shared the enlightening experience of having written our ‘habilitation books’ under the supervision of Professor Rudolf Bernhardt, former Director of the Heidelberg Max-Planck Institute for International and Comparative Public Law and former President of the European Court of Human Rights, on the relevance of fundamental rights for designing foreign policies and international law and institutions. In constitutional democracies recognizing human and democratic rights as legal foundations of national Constitutions, the limited foreign policy powers delegated by the constituent people – and also international law – must be interpreted as being constitutionally limited by human rights. Hence, This contribution explains why human rights cannot protect the universally agreed sustainable development goals without being embedded into multilevel democratic constitutionalism protecting transnational rule-of-law, ‘constitutional politics’ and ‘constitutional economics’ for the benefit of citizens and their human and constitutional rights.
