Effective Judicial Protection in the EU External Action

Effective judicial protection has become one of the defining constitutional principles of the European Union. Once understood primarily as a procedural guarantee, it now plays a central role in safeguarding the rule of law, preserving the autonomy of the EU legal order, shaping the Union's external action and the relationship between European Union law and public international law. This volume examines how the effective judicial protection became a structural constitutional principle extending beyond the Union's internal legal order. Drawing upon the Court's most significant recent jurisprudence including Achmea, Opinion 1/17, Rosneft, Komstroy, Venezuela v Council, KS and KD, and other landmark decisions, the contributors investigate the growing constitutional significance of Articles 2 and 19 TEU and Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Particular attention is devoted to the implications of this jurisprudence for the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy, restrictive measures/sanctions, investment arbitration, international agreements, and the EU's relations with third countries. Bringing together contributions of authors in EU constitutional and external relations law, this volume offers a timely and original assessment of one of the most significant developments in contemporary EU law.
