Abstract

An informed review and assessment of the main international instruments regarding human rights allowed us to argue first of all that their principle provisions are also found in the domestic law of the EU States, including Romania. Then, the same analysis and assessment gave us the opportunity to notice also the fact that, as far as human rights and fundamental freedoms are concerned, the EU law represents a source for domestic law, and, in the same time, a priority over the contrary provisions of domestic law; hence the force of „Jus cogens” that this EU Law has, and, ipso facto, its constitutional European value.
