Avertisment de la vârful Comisiei de la Veneția, în fața judecătorilor CCR: Ce se întâmplă când independența justiției este slăbită

Marta Cartabia, President of the Venice Commission, emphasized the crucial role of constitutional courts in upholding democracy during her visit to Romania. She highlighted the need for constitutional review to be included in the European Rule of Law Checklist, reflecting the evolving challenges faced by democracies. Cartabia warned that the independence of the judiciary is vital for democratic institutions and stressed that constitutional courts are the first to implement European values. Discussions also focused on making European standards on the rule of law accessible to the public and adapting constitutional criteria to technological advancements. The updated checklist will be translated into Romanian and other languages of Council of Europe member states.
