“…Rights derive their special, elevated status from the dignity that is inherent in every human being (dignitas humana) and are considered to be the foundation of every society, the source of regime legitimization, and the point of departure for social ordering. 31 Claims 'as of right', and indeed the idea of rights, have been fashioned around the achievement of the ideals of equality, humanism, abstracted individualism, and liberalism. This reflects the core human concern of rights within the anthropocentrically preoccupied constitutionalism paradigm.…”

Today, numerous constitutions provide for a rights-based approach to environmental protection. Based as they are on an instrumentalist rationality that seeks to promote human entitlements to nature, the majority of these rights remain anthropocentric. Although there are growing calls within academic and activist circles to reorient rights alongside an ecocentric ontology, only one country to date has taken the bold step to bestow rights on nature in its constitution. The Ecuadorian Constitution of 2008 announces the transition from a juridical anthropocentric orientation to an ecocentric position by recognizing enforceable rights of nature. This article critically reflects on the legal significance of granting rights to nature, with specific reference to Ecuador’s constitutional experiment. It first provides a contextual description of rights in an attempt to illustrate their anthropogenic genesis, and then explores the notion of environmental rights. The following part traces the discourse that has developed over the years in relation to the rights of nature by revealing aspects of an ecocentric counter-narrative. The final part focuses specifically on the Ecuadorian constitutional regime and provides (i) a historical-contextual discussion of the events that led to the adoption of the rights of nature; (ii) an analysis of the constitutional provisions directly and indirectly related to the rights of nature; and (iii) a critical appraisal of whether those provisions, so far, measure up to the rhetoric of constitutional ecocentric rights of nature in that country.

Zusammenfassung: Im Lissabon-urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts wird erstmals der staat des Grundgesetzes ausdrücklich als europarechtsfreundlich ausgewiesen. Doch das Gericht öffnet den staat nicht nur gegenüber den europäischen Herausforderungen und begreift ihn als Mitgliedstaat, sondern zieht der Preisgabe von souveränität auch Grenzen und versteht den staat wieder deutlich akzentuierter als Nationalstaat. Integration muss demokratisch verantwortet werden, aber ob sich mit der neuen Identitätskontrolle unter der "Ewigkeitsgarantie" des Art. 79 Abs. 3 GG ein verantwortungsvoller umgang mit dem Europarecht einstellen wird, bleibt abzuwarten.Schlüsselwörter: Lissabon-urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts · Ewigkeitsgarantie · Europarecht · Offene staatlichkeit · Identitätskontrolle From the national state to the member state and return?-Open statehood and the Lisbon Ruling of the German Federal CourtAbstract: For the first time, al legal interpretation of the German Basic Law (Grundgesetz) has attested as being friendly towards European Law. the Court has opened the federal Republic of Germany to European challenges, describing it as an member state. At the same time, however, the Court's ruling imposes clear limits on the surrendering of sovereignty, perceiving the state as a nation state. there is not much to be said against the notion that integration must be democratically accountable; but it remains to be seen whether the so-called "identity check" under the "eternity clause" of Art. 79 para 3 Grundgesetz will result in a more responsible approach to European law.
