Acta Universitatis Carolinae Iuridica (AUC Iuridica) is a legal journal published since 1955, which presents longer essays as well as short articles on topics relevant for legal theory and international, European and Czech law. It also publishes works concerning current legislative problems.

Although intended primarily for domestic audience, AUC Iuridica is useful also for foreign experts, who can take advantage of summaries in foreign languages (English, German and French) and key words, which are systematically added to the main articles and essays.

The published articles are subject to peer reviews. If necessary, reviewed texts are sent back to the author for revision.

AUC Iuridica accepts contributions from any contributor on any current legal topic.

The journal is registered in the Czech National Bibliography (kept by the National Library of the Czech Republic) and in the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (kept by the American Association of Law Libraries).

The journal is archived in Portico.

abstract

The article discusses the possibilities and modes of utilizing the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU as a human rights yardstick against which national legislation may be measured, especially in the Czech Republic. It considers the formal and material features of the Charter and comes to a conclusion that because of the close link between the Charter and the rest of EU law, the assessment whether national legislation complies with the Charter is best made as a part of the assessment of the legislation’s compatibility with EU law in general. Used separately as a source of human rights, the Charter has little new to offer in comparison with the national and international sources.
