WiSe 23/24: Democratic Principles on Trial: One Case at a Time
Kriszta Kovács Gábor Attila Tóth
Kommentar
The idea of a European constitutional community is based on the protection of human rights and the principles of democracy, and the rule of law safeguarded by independent courts. These foundational values are threatened not only by wars and severe economic and social crises but also by autocratic tendencies within Europe.
The objective of this seminar is to show how the foundational values and principles can (or cannot) be protected by international and national apex courts. Each class will focus on one case, one judicial decision at a time. The topics of the course include popular sovereignty, secularism and religion, human dignity, equality and non-discrimination, free speech, and the rule of law. These issues are addressed by analysing and discussing landmark cases of the two European supranational courts, the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union as well as domestic constitutional and supreme courts.”
