abstract
Is it possible to speak of the existence of a doctrine of the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic in relation to the Charter of the Fundamental Rights of the European Union? This is the key question dealt with in the following article. The answer stems from two decisions of the Constitutional Court delivered within proceedings dealing with the compatibility of legislation. The Constitutional Court initially took a self-limiting approach which was, without explanation, not followed in subsequent decision-making. The only solid foundation for the forming doctrine in relation to the Charter is stating that the Charter must be considered as a treaty under article 7 section 5 of the Constitution.
