CANONICAL, INTERNATIONAL, EUROPEAN AND CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: RECALLING THEIR INTERACTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION.

The autonomy and independence of civil law in relation to canon law, especially in those countries where these legal systems meet in the drafting and application of international agreements of the concordat type, are not entirely simple questions maintaining both - national and international dimensions. The first level question seems to be the reception of canon law by civil law in the view of the principle of independence and autonomy of state legal systems. The second level question is the validity and effectiveness of international bilateral human rights rules agreed with the Holy See. Many multilateral international treaties of universal and regional nature on human rights, especially in the areas of protection of freedom of religion and freedom of conscience, generally regulate the legal relations, but specific regulation of concordats is also appropriate, sometimes complementary, and sometimes primary.
