Overview
Key facts
- Disciplinary procedures have, for example, been introduced in Hungary and Poland against judges, coupled with questionable appointment processes of new judges.
- Such rule of law backsliding has gone hand in hand with unrestricted political and media attacks against the judiciary as well as NGOs. Also in other European countries, the rule of law requires constant maintenance and attention.
- The Council of Europe’s Venice Commission, for instance, held that the resilience of the Dutch rule of law system needs to be strengthened.
- Radboud University's Defending the Rule of Law in Europe course addresses the question how it can be ensured that the rule of law is sufficiently protected: what role do EU standards and EU institutions play in the protection of these values?
- This course helps students answering this question in a structured and interdisciplinary way, combining law with legal philosophy as well as sociological and political science approaches to the (empirical) study of the ‘law in action’.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- the legal value and justiciability of the values related to the rule of law (i.e. Article 2 TEU).
- the growing importance of the EU Charter for Fundamental Rights, including the right to an effective remedy and to an impartial tribunal in Article 47 of the Charter.
- cooperation between EU Member States in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice based on the principle of mutual trust and mutual recognition. This cooperation has made increasingly clear that the quality of the rule of law in a particular Member State also affects rule of law and fundamental rights protection in other Member States.
- procedures for effective judicial protection and enforcement of EU law, i.e. infringement procedure initiated by the European Commission (Article 258 TFEU) and preliminary references by national courts (Article 267 TFEU).
- EU budget and rule of law conditionality.
