Constitutional Pluralism

Asistimos a un proceso de influencia recíproca sobre derechos entre altos tribunales. Distintas jurisdicciones —ordinaria, constitucional, convencional y de la Unión— concurren al servicio de la integración europea mediante la garantía efectiva de unos derechos comunes y vienen obligadas a elaborar interpretaciones compatibles. Los derechos fundamentales son un ingrediente de un orden público democrático y el CEDH opera como un instrumento constitucional al servicio de ese orden. La idea de diálogo judicial es un instrumento flexible y ambiguo, y, precisamente por ello, muy útil para organizar un trabajo en red en este escenario de pluralismo constitucional. Si bien no es claro qué quiere decirse con «diálogo», puede que de esta ambigüedad sea mejor no salir dado el amplio círculo de los destinatarios. Los tribunales constitucionales deben actuar como interlocutores del TEDH y, al tiempo, como mediadores, divulgando la jurisprudencia europea y haciéndola compatible con las jurisprudencias constitucionales mediante una interpretación conforme. Sería muy conveniente acomodar los parámetros constitucionales de derechos, mediante su reforma, al mínimo que entraña el sistema del Convenio. Debemos explicar con mayor profundidad las diversas relaciones que se engloban bajo la inclusiva denominación de diálogo.We are witnessing a process of influence and cross-fertilization in human rights between high courts. Several jurisdictions —domestic, constitutional, European Court and Court of Justice— cooperate in European integration in order to achieve collective enforcement of rights and therefore compatible interpretationsmust be constructed. Fundamental rights are an ingredient of a European and democratic public order, and the European Convention on Human Rights must work as a constitutional instrument of this order. The idea of judicial dialogue is such a flexible and ambiguous device that it becomes very useful for organizing a network in this scenario of constitutional pluralism. Nevertheless it is not at all clear what the expression «dialogue » means, however it is probably better not to go very much into detail because of the wide number of member States which have to understand it. Constitutional Courts should act as partners of the European Court of Human Rights and also as mediators, spreading European legal doctrine and making it compatible with their own constitutional doctrines by means of an interpretation secundum conventionem. It would be convenient to reform constitutional parameters in order to harmonize their internal standards with the system of the Convention. But we should go further and explain in detail the different relationships which are included under the word «dialogue».

First Time

La Unión Europea y el Consejo de Europa han recordado recientemente la obligación que tienen sus Estados miembros de mejorar el sistema de garantías respecto de los menores extranjeros no acompañados. En este trabajo nos centramos en los derechos del menor detenido. Nos anima a ello la Sentencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos en el caso Rahimi c. Grecia (2011), que por vez primera califica como trato inhumano o degradante no asistir a un menor cuando, dictada la orden de expulsión, éste sale del Centro de internamiento. Al mismo tiempo, en el último trienio, las dos organizaciones anteriormente citadas han reconocido abiertamente el incumplimiento que en la práctica se observa de las obligaciones que se derivan del Convenio de Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos del Niño y la necesidad de articular un procedimiento marco que garantice los derechos de este grupo especialmente vulnerable cuando son detenidos a causa de la irregularidad de su situación administrativa.The European Union and the Council of Europe have reminded its Member States that it is necessary to improve the protection of unaccopanied foreing minors. In particular, we are going to study in this paper the rights of detainees. Concerning this matter, we consider of a remarkable interest the rule of the European Court of Human Rights in Rahimi v. Greece (2011): it has been the first time that the Court has considered as a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) when an unaccompanied minor is neglected by national authorities after being released without any kind of protection from a detention center. At the same time, the documents that in this paper we have studied —approved from 2010 to 2012— explicitly recognize that in Europe have not yet been adopted the measures required to protect effectively the rights recognized in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), and that it necessary to promote the adoption of procedures to safeguard the administrative and judicial protection of these children.

Resumen: En el presente escrito se estudiará la figura del margen nacional de apreciación y su aplicación por parte del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Este estudio tiene como objeto demostrar que la utilización frecuente de esta figura impide que exista una interpretación uniforme del derecho a la libertad de pensamiento, conciencia y religión en el Sistema Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Para probar la hipótesis planteada, la figura aludida será comparada con el control de convencionalidad y la forma en que se ha aplicado esta última figura por parte de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Esto último se realizará con el fin de evidenciar las falencias interpretativas y de protección de los derechos que genera la utilización del margen nacional de apreciación. Palabras clave: margen nacional de apreciación, control de convencionalidad, Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, libertad de pensamiento, conciencia y religión, Estado laico. Abstract: This paper will study the figure of the national margin of appreciation and its application by the European Court of Human Rights. The purpose of this study is to show that the frequent use of this figure prevents a uniform interpretation of the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion in the European System of Human Rights. To test this hypothesis, the aforementioned figure will be compared with the control of conventionality and the way in which the latter figure has been applied by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. The latter in order to highlight the interpretative and protection flaws of the rights generated by the use of the national margin of appreciation. Keywords: National appreciation margin, control of conventionality, European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, secular State.

On 2 October 2013, Protocol No. 16 to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) was opened for signature by the Member States of the Council of Europe (CoE). The protocol, that has so far been signed by sixteen States and ratified by Albania, Georgia, Lithuania, San Marino and Slovenia, will enter into force in case of ratification by at least ten Member States. If the protocol becomes effective, it will expand the European Court of Human Rights’ competence to give advisory opinions upon request by domestic high courts and tribunals.

Protection Of Human Rights

El sistema europeo de protección de derechos humanos resultante del Convenio Europeo de 1950 ha experimentado una notable evolución desde su creación, tanto en oo que se refiere a su extensión como a sus objetivos y procedimientos. Al menos tres fases son visibles en esa evolución; una primera fase, inicialmente orientada a una colaboración interestatal, protagonizada por la Comisión Europea de Derechos Humanos; una segunda fase, centrada en la protección individualizada de los derechos del Convenio por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos; y finalmente, parecería apuntarse una tercera, caracterizada por la incipiente adopción de una función cuasi-constitucional del Tribunal de Estrasburgo.The European system of protection of human rights created by the European Convention of 1950 has been subject of a deep evolution since its creation, concerning both its extension and its goals and proceedings. Three phases aat least are visible in this evolution: a first phase, initially oriented to an inter-State collaboration, where the main role corresponded to the European Comission of Human Rights; a second phase, centered on the individualised protection of Convention rights by the European Court of Humna Rights; and finally, ir seems that a third phase is starting, in which the Strasbourg Court is assuming a quasi-constitutional function.

Resumen: El control empresarial del uso de los medios informáticos de la empresa y, en especial, de los mensajes que los trabajadores intercambian a través de estos medios, ha sido un tema polémico que, en España, parecía ya parcialmente resuelto por la doctrina constitucional y jurisprudencial. Pero las recientes STEDH establecen nuevos criterios necesitados de análisis por los cambios importantes que pueden provocar en nuestro sistema. Este trabajo comienza exponiendo la situación anterior a esas sentencias, para después analizar los tres últimos pronunciamientos al respecto del TEDH. El trabajo termina explicando las consecuencias que han tenido en el sistema español.Palabras clave: Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, control del empleador, videovigilancia, proporcionalidad, información, derechos fundamentales, derecho a la intimidad, uso de los recursos tecnológicos de la empresa, derecho al secreto de las comunicaciones.Abstract: The corporate supervisión of workers use of technological resources and, especially the messages swapped throw them, has been a controversial matter that seemed partially solved by the constitutional and jurisprudential doctrine. But the recent “Judgment of the European Court of Human Rights” establishes new criteria that implies a big change in our system, and they have to be analysed. This research analyses the situation before and last three judgements of the European Court of Human Rights. The article ends up explaining the consequences that have had on the Spanish system.Keywords: European Court of Human Rights, employer’s control, video surveillance, proportionality, information, fundamental rights, rignt to privacy, use of internet and electronic communications in the workplace, secrecy of communications.

La identidad nacional es una categoría jurídica central del Derecho de la Unión Europea que está siendo invocada cada vez con mayor frecuencia entre la doctrina, así como entre los Tribunales Constitucionales nacionales y el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea. En estas circunstancias, está surgiendo una, aún incipiente e inmadura, literatura académica que, con base en una serie de recientes pronunciamientos del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, está interpretando si existe en el marco del sistema del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos una figura análoga. Este artículo tiene por objeto analizar en, clave comparada, la posible emergencia de dicha categoría en ese nuevo contexto jurídico. National identity is an essential legal category in European Union law which has increasingly been invoked by scholars as well as constitutional courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union. In this connection, it is emerging a, still incipient and immature, legal literature which, on the basis of a series of recent judgments coming from the European Court of Human Rights, is interpreting whether there is an analogous figure in the framework of the European Convention of Human Rights system. This article aims to analyse, in a comparative key, the possible advent of the above-mentioned figure in this new legal context.

The Right

The core function of the judiciary is the administration of justice through delivering judgments and other decisions. The crucial role for its acceptance and legitimization by not only lawyers, but also individulas (parties) and the hole society plays judicial reasoning. It should reflect on judge’s independence within the exercise of his office and show also judicial self-restraint or activism. The axiology and the standards of proper judicial reasoning are anchored both in constitutional and supranational law and case-law. Polish Constitutional Tribunal derives a duty to give reasoning from the right to a fair trial – right to be heard and bring own submissions before the court (Article 45 § 1 of the Constitution), the right to appeal against judgments and decisions made at first stage (Article 78), the rule of two stages of the court proceedings (Article 176) and rule of law clause (Article 2), that comprises inter alia right to due process of law and the rule of legitimate expactation / the protection of trust (Vertrauensschutz). European Court of Human Rights derives this duty to give reasons from the guarantees of the right to a fair trial enshrined in Article 6 § 1 of European Convention of Human Rights. In its case-law the ECtHR, taking into account the margin of appreciation concept, formulated a number of positive and negative requirements, that should be met in case of proper reasoning. The obligation for courts to give sufficient reasons for their decisions is also anchored in European Union law. European Court of Justice derives this duty from the right to fair trial enshrined in Articles 6 and 13 of the ECHR and Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Standards of the courts reasoning developed by Polish constitutional court an the European courts (ECJ and ECtHR) are in fact convergent and coherent. National judges should take them into consideration in every case, to legitimize its outcome and enhance justice delivery.

The Law

Western legal tradition gave the birth to the concept of the rule of law. Legal theory and constitutional justice significantly contributed to the crystallisation of its standards and to moving into the direction of the common concept of the rule of law. The European Court of Human Rights uses this concept as an interpretative tool, the extension of which is the quality of the law doctrine, which encompasses concrete requirements for the law under examination in this Court, such as prospectivity of law, its foreseeability, clarity etc. The author of the article, former judge of the Lithuanian Constitutional Court and currently the judge of the European Court of Human Rights, examines how the latter court has gradually intensified (not always consistently) its reliance on the rule of law as a general principle, inherent in all the Articles of the European Convention on Human Rights, to the extent that in some of its judgments it concentrates not anymore on the factual situation of an individual applicant, but, first and foremost, on the examination of the quality of the law. The trend is that, having found the quality of the applicable law to be insufficient, the Court considers that the mere existence of contested legislation amounts to an unjustifiable interference into a respective right and finds a violation of respective provisions of the Convention. This is an indication of the Court’s progressing self-approximation to constitutional courts, which are called to exercise abstract norm-control.La tradición occidental alumbró la noción del Estado de Derecho. La teoría del Derecho y la Justicia Constitucional han contribuido decisivamente a la cristalización de sus estándares, ayudando a conformar un acervo común en torno al mismo. El Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos emplea la noción de Estado de Derecho como una herramienta interpretativa, fundamentalmente centrada en la doctrina de la calidad de la ley, que implica requisitos concretos que exige el Tribunal tales como la claridad, la previsibilidad, y la certeza en la redacción y aplicación de la norma. El autor, en la actualidad Juez del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos y anterior Magistrado del Tribunal Constitucional de Lituania, examina cómo el primero ha intensificado gradualmente (no siempre de forma igual de consistente) su confianza en el Estado de Derecho como principio general, inherente a todos los preceptos que forman el Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, hasta el punto de que en algunas de sus resoluciones se concentra no tanto en la situación de hecho del demandante individual sino, sobre todo y ante todo, en el examen de esa calidad de la ley. La tendencia del Tribunal es a considerar que, si observa que la ley no goza de calidad suficiente, la mera existencia de la legislación discutida supone una interferencia injustificable dentro del derecho en cuestión y declara la violación del precepto correspondiente del Convenio. Esto implica el acercamiento progresivo del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos a los Tribunales Constitucionales, quienes tienen encargado el control en abstracto de la norma legal.
