How do or could European States envisage their constitutional catalogues of human rights today? This article addresses that question in the broader framework of a reflection on the contribution of the Constitution to the protection of human rights. It argues that the ageing of constitutional catalogues of human rights is not a fatality and that the people can always decide to update and revitalize its fundamental text through a democratic revision process - even though this may prove difficult. The analysis tackles the relevant legal aspects of the issue in an interdisciplinary perspective.
