HUMAN RIGHTS BETWEEN STRASBOURG AND LUXEMBOURG …

HUMAN RIGHTS BETWEEN STRASBOURG

AND LUXEMBOURG – DISINTEGRATION

OF A MONIST VIEW OF HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION,

OR A NEW BEGINNING?

Monika Forejtová

Abstract

: The author of the article deals with the current situation in the field of

human rights protection in Europe, particularly taking into account the opinion of

the Court of Justice of the European Union, which has been formulated in the CJEU

opinion no. 2/2013. The Draft agreement on the accession of the European Union

to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental

Freedoms has been found incompatible with EU primary law. The author examines

the consequences of this situation and proposes the possible ways to resolve this

incompatibility between the CJEU and the European Court of Human Rights,

respectively EU and Council of Europe in the future.
