abstract
Introductory part of the article gives a brief outline of solutions to the relationship between international law and constitutional law within the Czechoslovak constitutional history and within some other European constitutions with respect to different historical periods in the development of constitutions. In the following section the author gives reasons for his opinion that the concept of human rights and freedoms contained in Art. 10 of the Constitution includes the list of rights and freedoms contained in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms as a whole, both in Pacts and in the General Declaration of Human Rights which is not an international treaty. Civil human rights can be expanded outside that framework. The author analyses individual features of the provision under Art. 10 of the Constitution of the Czech Republic. He follows the assumption that one rule can be a part of both international law and constitutional law. The author pays special attention to problems related to unclear translations of the authentic wording of treaties, and to means by which they could be corrected. Such corrections could be done only by Parliament in its capacity as the body which authorized and construed the translated authentic text. In conclusion, the author deals with the necessity of changes to the Constitution in relation to the process of integration of the Czech Republic within European structures, and to the need for solutions to theoretical issues, such as the problem of the sovereignty of the people and the sovereignty of the State. The author also pays attention to the definition of human rights in relation to various forms of crime and the dangers arising for civilization from the abuse of human rights.
