Corneliu-Liviu POPESCU, Ph.D. in Law, Professor, Professional incapacity of Romanian supreme judges to apply European Law
The Romanian Constitution imposes self executing character, with supra legislative power, of international conventional law of human rights and of unional and community law.
Constitutional Court and High Court of Appeal and Justice, in their case-law, make severe confusions between Council of Europe, on one hand, and European Communities and European Union, on the other, so between conventional European law of human rights and community and unional law.
This unacceptable confusion proves an obvious professional incapacity of some of the judges of the two Romanian supreme courts and raises obstacles to a real and effective application of international law of human rights and EU law into domestic legal order.
