THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL LAW AND DOMESTIC LAW AS PERCEIVED BY CONSTITUTIONAL COURTS

Summary/Abstract: In a country’s evolution, there are different political, legal and economic stages and transformations. Also Romania has been subject to such transformations, one of these stages being represented by the dawn of a new constitutional order after the Revolution in 1989, which was followed by the establishment of a new constitutional framework by adopting, first of all, for the transition period, an act having the force of a “fundamental law” and, then, by adopting, in 1991, based on a referendum, the Romanian Constitution, which established the principles of the functioning of a State governed by the rule of law and the mechanisms for its functioning. The review of constitutionality, as part of this mechanism, was entrusted to the Constitutional Court as the guarantor for the supremacy of the Constitution and the only authority of constitutional jurisdiction in Romania.
