The substantiation of the protection of human rights in the European Community and, more recently, in the European Union has benefited from the important and constant contribution of the Court of Justice of the European Communities.

The protection of human rights has been achieved in a pandectist way, through the integrative interpretations, pronounced by the ECJ, most of them in preliminary questions - within the dialogue between the European courts and the national courts. Indirectly, the national courts played an important role, as they forced the ECJ to deepen and rule, in most of them using the teleological method of interpretation.

The Court of Justice of the European Communities highlights a first stage, the stage in which, surprisingly, the first signs of an international judicial competition appear. The European Court of Human Rights - an institution recognized and with a substantial practice, consolidated in this field - was, and is, the benchmark against which the ECJ stood in pronouncing its decisions.


A first attempt to eliminate discrepancies between the interpretations of the two Courts was the accession of the EC to the ECHR. In its opinion, the ECJ rejected this possibility, although in some contradiction with its own judgments, in which the European Convention on Human Rights and the judgments of the Court are invoked.

The Treaty of Lisbon, institutional reform and the Union's competences propose the EU's accession to the ECHR without providing many legal, technical details and without leaving an important, almost unresolved issue of the hierarchy of international courts (more precisely, legal norms).

Human rights in the European Union are currently emerging as a changing field, moving from the EC to the EU - with a view to the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. At the same time, recent years have indicated interesting and important changes in the field of human rights within the third pillar, highlighted not so much by European legislation but especially by ECJ decisions.

The legal and political implications of recourse to one's own human rights jurisdiction, access to the subsidiary, and sometimes interpretable, provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, may drive the process launched in 2000 by adopting the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union - a worthless document mandatory legal (so far) and quite bushy.

The Treaty of Lisbon imposes the provisions of the Charter in the European system and puts us in front of a dilemma regarding the duality of the interpretations of the two Courts (ECJ and ECHR) in the field of human rights.

The substantiation of the protection of human rights in the European Community and, more recently, in the European Union has benefited from the important and constant contribution of the Court of Justice of the European Communities.

The protection of human rights has been achieved in a pandectist way, through the integrative interpretations, pronounced by the ECJ, most of them in preliminary questions - within the dialogue between the European courts and the national courts. Indirectly, the national courts played an important role, as they forced the ECJ to deepen and rule, in most of them using the teleological method of interpretation.

The Court of Justice of the European Communities highlights a first stage, the stage in which, surprisingly, the first signs of an international judicial competition appear. The European Court of Human Rights - an institution recognized and with a substantial practice, consolidated in this field - was, and is, the benchmark against which the ECJ stood in pronouncing its decisions.


A first attempt to eliminate discrepancies between the interpretations of the two Courts was the accession of the EC to the ECHR. In its opinion, the ECJ rejected this possibility, although in some contradiction with its own judgments, in which the European Convention on Human Rights and the judgments of the Court are invoked.

The Treaty of Lisbon, institutional reform and the Union's competences propose the EU's accession to the ECHR without providing many legal, technical details and without leaving an important, almost unresolved issue of the hierarchy of international courts (more precisely, legal norms).

Human rights in the European Union are currently emerging as a changing field, moving from the EC to the EU - with a view to the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. At the same time, recent years have indicated interesting and important changes in the field of human rights within the third pillar, highlighted not so much by European legislation but especially by ECJ decisions.

The legal and political implications of recourse to one's own human rights jurisdiction, access to the subsidiary, and sometimes interpretable, provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, may drive the process launched in 2000 by adopting the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union - a worthless document mandatory legal (so far) and quite bushy.

The Treaty of Lisbon imposes the provisions of the Charter in the European system and puts us in front of a dilemma regarding the duality of the interpretations of the two Courts (ECJ and ECHR) in the field of human rights.
