🇪🇺⚖️🦘🇵🇱 My first publication for 2026 is a joint undertaking (not our first one!) with @profpech.bsky.social , looking into last month's dramatic judgment of @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social in the case C-448/23, Commission v. Poland (Constitutional Tribunal) for @verfassungsblog.de 1/
verfassungsblog.de Verfassungsblog @verfassungsblog.de · 3d
The CJEU has ruled that Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is not a lawful court.

Yet the rule of law crisis in Poland is not over.

JAKUB JARACZEWSKI and LAURENT PECH explain what the judgment is about — and why implementation will be difficult.

Quote: “The captured Constitutional Tribunal’s main purpose has been to provide a veneer of legality to arbitrariness in repeated violations of the rule of law.”

Europe and the international community cannot remain reluctant or ambiguous in condemning the unilateral use of force as illegal and in calling on MS to remain faithful to the UNCharter’s provisions

Venezuela marks a shift in how U.S. intervention is framed under international law.

ANDRÉ NOLLKAEMPER writes that once such interventions become routine, other states’ responses – especially Europe’s – decide whether the erosion of international law is normalised.

The obstruction of justice is a key US export under Trump. He has attempted to interfere in the criminal trial of Jair Bolsonaro, tried to get charges dropped against Benjamin Netanyahu and is tightening the screws on the International Criminal Court. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...
