ABSTRACT
On a macro level the intertwining of transnational constitutionalism and basic human rights can be found in the constitutions or basic rules of almost all nations. A deeper study of reasons behind this intertwining can be attributed to various factors arising both domestically as well as internationally. The purpose of this paper is to examine these contemporary external and internal factors that nations take into account while incorporating the Basic Human Rights in their constitutions and how this incorporation furthers the idea of transnational constitutionalism in the area of human rights. It also stressed on the idea that, today not only transnational constitutionalism introduces changes into the constitution of a nation, but there is also a reverse flow, by which traditional constitutions create new areas within transnational constitutionalism. This reverse flow has a profound impact in broadening the horizons of basic human rights.
