Transnational Progressivism – A European Perspective
November 25, 2008 2:38 pm UncategorizedWSJ updates us on this noble cause in Europe.
On Sept. 3, the European Court of Justice ruled that the Security Council resolution was invalid. The duty to comply with the U.N. Charter, it declared, “cannot have the effect of prejudicing [regional] constitutional principles.” In doing so, the ECJ followed its advocate general’s argument that “international law can permeate [the European Community] legal order only under the conditions set by the constitutional principles of the Community.”
A case of European exceptionalism perhaps?
