Full text linkResponding to the EU's Rule of Law Crisis: Any Role for General International Law?
No full textThis article purports to examine and critically discuss some of the current proposals put forward by scholars to respond to the European Union (EU) rule of law crisis, which call into question, in different ways, the role of general international law. After outlining the state of the debate on the relationship between customary law and EU legal order (Section 2), the article considers some provocative arguments recently made on the alleged “implied withdrawal” of backsliding members via Article 50 TEU, through the prism of the 1969 Vienna Convention Law of Treaties (VCLT) (Section 3). Subsequently, the attention turns on the interplay between general international law and Article 7 TEU, the special mechanism for the enforcement of EU values. The article explores a radical proposal, namely, that of setting aside Article 7 TEU and imposing sanctions grounded on customary international law (Section 4). These theses advocate for the suspension or expulsion of recalcitrant members based on the fall-back on the “safety valves” for parties to treaties in international law, namely Articles 60-62 VCLT. Against this theoretical analysis, the article draws some final remarks on the approach followed in practice by the Union to manage its internal crisis and reflects on the implications of this approach from the perspective of the law of International Organizations and the concept of EU autonomy (Section 5)
La Corte di Strasburgo opta per una soluzione soffice nel coordinare gli obblighi della Convenzione con quelli derivanti dalle Nazioni Unite : alcune riflessioni a margine della sentenza Al-Dulimi
No full textIn Al-Dulimi and Montana Management Inc. v. Switzerland the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) held that Switzerland had violated article 6 para.1 of the Convention (ECHR). In the Court’s view, Swiss authorities, while implementing a Security Council resolution imposing the freezing of assets of the applicants, should have verified that UN sanctions listings were not arbitrary (para. 1).
The article will first recall the ECtHR line of cases dealing with a potential normative conflict between the obligations under the ECHR and other international obligations (para. 2). Secondly, it will analyze the core reasoning of the decision – i.e. the harmonious interpretation of the Security Council resolution with the ECHR (para. 3). Then, it will compare the soft solution crafted by the Court to the other way-out of the legal dilemma at issue (para. 4). Lastly, some critical points of the decision will be underlined, such as: the inconsistent attitude of the previous ECtHR case law with regard to article 6; the lack of clarification on the content and the scope of the judicial review of sanctions (found in the ‘arbitrariness’ standard); and the way to coordinate the outcome of the domestic judicial review with the (persistent) listing of individuals in the Security Council Sanctions Committee’s blacklist (para. 5). In that regard, we maintain that it would have been more useful if the Court had considered the conduct of Swiss authorities both at the national level and at the international level, namely within the UN and the Security Council Sanctions Committee (para 6)
