| Description | The contribution deals with the first two cases of reopening of proceedings decided before the Czech Constitutional Court in July 2008 on the background of two cases heard before the European Court of Human Rights. The Court found that a human right was infringed (in both cases was held a that there has been a violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms). The findings of the Constitutional Court are analyzed in terms of the provision of Art. 119b para. 4 of the Constitutional Court Act 1993 (as amended in 2004), demanding to proceed in new finding of the Constitutional Court on the basis of the international court's interpretation of obligations of the Czech Republic under international law. There was emphasized the need of restrictive interpretation of that provision and respect for maintaining of the Czech sovereignty (potestas punitiva) |
