  • Europäischer Verfassungsgerichte Und Des Europäischen Gerichtshofes Für Menschenrechte
    Vergleich zwischen den Interpretationsmethoden europäischer Verfassungsgerichte und des Europäischen Gerichtshofes für Menschenrechte Constance Grewe* Einleitung Im Bereich der Grund- und Menschenrechte konkurrieren - in jedem Sinne des Wortes - die -Interpretationen der nationalen Verfassungsgerichte mit derjenigen des Europäischen Gerichtshofes für Menschenrechte. Daher drängt sich die Frage der Vergleichbarkeit, der eventuellen Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede und deren Gründe geradezu auf. Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wäre es zwar reizvoll, die Rechtsprechung aller europäischen Verfassungsgerichte ins Auge zu fassen. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags kann jedoch nur ein kleiner Kreis möglichst repräsentativer Gerichte näher betrachtet werden. Dabei handelt es sich um Gerichte westeuropäischer Länder, in denen die Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit verankert ist, auch wenn sie nicht immer so hochentwickelt ist wie in Deutschland. Konkret bedeutet dies, dass Frankreich, Deutschland, Österreich, die Schweiz, Italien, Spanien, Portugal und Belgien im Vordergrund des Interesses stehen werden, was nicht ausschliesst, je nach Sach- zusammenhang auch noch einige andere Länder einzubeziehen. Zur Fragestellung der Interpretationsmethoden ist zunächst zu bemerken, dass im allgemeinen weder die Verfassungen1 noch die meisten völkerrechtlichen Ver- träge2 etwas über ihre Interpretation oder die Grundsätze, nach denen sie aus- gelegt werden sollen, aussagen. Die betreffenden Gerichte verfügen infolgedessen über relativ grosse Freiheiten. Inwiefern ähneln sich oder unterscheiden sich diese Methoden? Und falls sie sich ähneln, heisst das nicht, dass diese beiden Arten von Gerichtsbarkeiten zwangsläufig spezifische und gemeinsame Methoden ent- wickeln? "-, Die hier angesprochenen Gerichtsbarkeiten verbinden tatsächlich mehrere ' gemeinsame Merkmale. Dies gilt für die Materie, d. h. die Menschenrechte ebenso wie für den Bezugstext, in einem Fall die Verfassung, im anderen die Europäische der der Gerichtshof für Menschen- 11.

  • Constitutional Review in Consociations
    Rectifying and Reinforcing: Constitutional Review in Consociations by András Gál Submitted to The Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy, and International Relations Central European University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Professor Matthijs Bogaards February 12, 2021 Word Count: 64,816 i Declaration I, the undersigned András Gál, candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations, declare herewith that the present thesis is exclusively my own work, based on my research and only such external information as properly credited in notes and bibliography. I declare that no unidentified and illegitimate use was made of work of others, and no part the thesis infringes on any person’s or institution’s copyright. I also declare that no part the thesis has been submitted in this form to any other institution of higher education for an academic degree. February 12, 2021 Signature ii Abstract The role of constitutional review in consociations – a specific form of power-sharing built on elite cooperation – is a controversial phenomenon both for the conceptual difficulties surrounding it and its mixed empirical record. While authors in the relevant literature agree that constitutional courts may contribute to the protection of human rights in such regimes, they also warn of their undermining potential. The latter stems from an inherent tension between the individualistic, universal values promoted by constitutionalism and the group-specific provisions essential in consociations. The empirical record of constitutional review in consociations covers a variety of cases, ranging from judicial deference to cases of confrontational behavior undermining power- sharing settlements.
