Abstract. The article presents the authors’ analysis of the constitutions of federal states in Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany and Switzerland) for the purpose of describing the norms in those constitutions that are directed at the mitigation of human rights risks. The results obtained in the analysis are systematically compared, and recommendations are given for how the constitutional parameters in the study can be perfected.
