UzhNU scholars made their contribution to the edition on international constitutional law

The analytical work "International Constitutional Law" written by  prominent European scientists representing 28 countries and dedicated to the issues of harmonization and competition of judicial practice of national constitutional courts and supreme courts with the practice of international courts, in particular the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg court) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (Luxembourg court) edited by a Professor of Constitutional Law of the University of Bologna Luca Mezzetti, was recently published in the Italian city of Turin in the G. Giattichelli publishing house.

The section on Ukraine was written by Doctor of Law, the Director of the Research Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law of UzhNU Mykhaylo Savchyn and Candidate of Law, retired Judge of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine Volodymyr Kampo.

The edition touches upon complex issues of interaction of national constitutional law systems and trans-, inter- and supranational law. The impact of judicial practice of higher national courts, including constitutional ones, and the practices of the European Court of Human Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights, which in some categories of cases is even ahead of the ECHR in the issues of dynamic interpretation of fundamental rights, is revealed as an example of the interaction of international (interstate) and national law.

Much of the research is dedicated to the impact of the EU Court of Justice judicial practice to the national constitutional systems in terms of the rule of EU law influence on national laws. The influence of generally recognized principles and norms of international law and international jurisdictional agencies, including the International Criminal Court, on national laws was also the subject of the analysis.

 This is a qualitatively new interdisciplinary edition since it has been written at the intersection of international and constitutional law and it touches upon some fundamental issues of application of the basic principles of law and their influence on jurisprudence.
