Dialogic Constitutionalism and Its Application to Fundamental Rights

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Protection of Fundamental Rights in Europe

Abstract

This monograph argues that integration is not a project to be aborted, rather it should be based on common values, which include the rule of law and fundamental rights. At the heart of our analysis is the concept of ‘Integration Through Rights’(ITR), as linked to the ‘Ever Closer Union’ formula enshrined in Article 1(2) TEU, on which the theory of constitutional pluralism is legally based. In the chapter “Expanding Theories of Constitutionalism and Legal Pluralism: ‘Integration Through Rights’ in Europe”, we focused on the theories of ‘constitutionalism’ and ‘legal pluralism’ in relation to fundamental rights protection in Europe. The theoretical debate about ‘constitutional pluralism’ is certainly complex and the exact boundaries of this doctrine are often very difficult to draw. Many authors distinguish between ‘pluralism’ and ‘constitutionalism’, giving different explanations to the different terms. ‘Constitutionalism’ is often used in relation to national law but, as highlighted in the chapter “Expanding Theories of Constitutionalism and Legal Pluralism: ‘Integration Through Rights’ in Europe”, the term has also been adopted to define the relationship between the EU and its Member States. In this chapter, we refer to ‘constitutional pluralism’ beyond EU law.

    The text of Article 53 of the Charter is the following: ‘Nothing in this Charter shall be interpreted as restricting or adversely affecting human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognised, in their respective fields of application, by Union law and international law and by international agreements to which the Union, the Community or all the Member States are party, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and by the Member States’ constitutions.’

    The text of Article 53 of the ECHR is the following: ‘Nothing in this Convention shall be construed as limiting or derogating from any of the human rights and fundamental freedoms which may be ensured under the laws of any High Contracting Party or under any other agreement to which it is a party.’

  30. 30.

    This provision is intended to maintain the level of protection currently afforded within their respective scope by Union law, national law and international law. Owing to its importance, reference is made to the ECHR. See European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights 2007.

    Here we refer to the EU fundamental rights and the ECHR and the work of the two Courts. The term ‘European territory’, often evoked in this work, refers to the overlapping territory of the EU and CoE. The European territory covers all the EU Member States’ territory, i.e. the whole European Union.
