Description of the research topic:
In contemporary theoretical debates of constitutional law it is a highly discussed issue whether international conventions on human rights can constrain the autonomy of parliaments. In judicial practices and in legal literature focusing on the problems that figure in adjudication two dimensions of this issue are intertwined. On the one hand, the aspects of the principle of the separation of powers and the effective and equal protection of human rights and on the other hand, the democratic principle of national autonomy and the justificatory problems of the protection of human rights on the international level. What can we consider as the fundamental principle of parliamentary law: organizational autonomy or the principle of free mandate? Where are the boundaries of parliamentary immunity? When can parliamentary discipline be considered a restriction of democratic debate?
