| Description | Constitutional courts are regularly depicted as the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) partners which contribute significantly to domestic implementation of the ECtHR’s case law. This article acknowledges the constitutional courts’ importance in the implementation of ECHR rights, however, it argues that the domestic implementation environment is more complex and asks for a more nuanced approach to assessing the role of constitutional courts in implementing the ECtHR case law. The article offers a typology of constitutional courts’ roles in mechanisms of implementation of the ECtHR’s case law. The typology aims to provide a more nuanced picture of constitutional court’s roles as it takes into account their interactions with other domestic actors during different stages of implementation, and their different postures towards the ECtHR’s judgments. Informed by the typology, the article revisits the debate about the significance of constitutional courts in the ECHR system. |
