BLOG | A Proposal for Politically-Willing Countries to Resolve Europe’s Rule of Law Crisis

BLOG | Jak vyřešit krizi právního státu v Evropě?
Vzhledem k nedostatečné reakci EU na porušování zásad právního státu by evropské státy, které k tomu mají politické důvody, měly zvážit zavedení nového mechanismu odpovědnosti.

Měly by členské státy Evropské unie, znepokojené porušováním zásad právního státu, hledat řešení mimo orgány EU? O tématu píše ve svém blogu náš výzkumník v rámci Fulbright-Schumanova grantu Henry Barrett.
