Abstract
Підписання Угоди про асоціацію між Україною та Європейським Союзом об’єктивно порушує
питання вдосконалення конституційного порядку, який би забезпечив участь України у процесах європейської інтеграції та поступової інтернаціоналізації Основного Закону України. Угода про асоціацію є частиною виконання міжнародних зобов’язань, які передусім забезпечуються на рівні Конституції України за допомогою офіційного тлумачення і конституційності різних нормативно-правових актів. У зв’язку з цим, Конституційний Суд України поступово виробляє механізми взаємодії
міжнародного права з національною правовою системою України, у тому числі шляхом формулювання відповідних принципів, зокрема «принципу дружнього ставлення до міжнародного права».
Подібна практика Суду призводить до поступового подолання певного консерватизму Конституції
України і загалом усієї національної системи права.
The signing of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement (AA) raises objective issues regarding the improvement of the constitutional order in Ukraine, which will secure Ukraine’s participation in the process of European integration and the gradual internationalization of the Fundamental Law itself. The execution of the AA essentially represents the voluntary consent to interaction between Ukrainian society and the international community. This cooperation will take place on the basis of established international standards that will expedite the re-orientation of the legal, political, and social systems in Ukraine towards the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, and an effective market economy. In other words, Ukraine will experience the gradual regeneration of its entire constitutional order. Therefore, it is very important to learn the principles underlying the precedents contained in the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which will substantively strengthen the application of the rule of law. Thus, the rule of law compels the judiciary to engage in the creation of legal norms, and, within the limits of their competency, to resolve issues concerning international cooperation. The Constitutional Court of Ukraine (CCU) is assigned a special role in this process – by applying generally accepted international principles into the national system of law it constitutionalizes. Indeed, the AA is an aspect of the performance of Ukraine’s international obligations, which, in the first instance, are secured at the level of the Constitution of Ukraine (CU) through official interpretation and the constitutionality of various legislative acts. In this connection, the CCU is gradually establishing mechanisms of interaction of international law with the national legal system of Ukraine, particularly through the formulation of relevant principles, especially the “principle of a friendly approach to international law.” This practice of the CCU will result in gradually overcoming a certain conservatism in the Court and in the domestic legal system as a whole. International legal standards will assist in revealing the true essence of the CCU, seeking its national identity in connection with the ideals and principles that are the common achievements of European nations.
