The protection of fundamental rights constitutes the basis of the EU identity. At the same time that the member states protect their national identities leads to differences between constitutional provisions of the Union Treaty and national constitutions. The fundamental rights have an important role in addressing these differences because the protection of fundamental rights is the basis of EU’s identity. The European Court of Justice that was inspired by the ECHR’s Soering decision and G.S.S. Case ruled that the member states have obligation to watch over each other’s observance of EU fundamental rights. This article sheds light on the criteria for member states’ obligation to monitor compliance with EU fundamental rights law with the term “Horizontal Solange” and developments in this framework.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Fundamental rights hierarchy, EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, ECHR, peripheral fundamental rights, central fundamental rights.

AB TEMEL HAKLARININ ÜYE DEVLETLER ARASINDA KORUNMASI

Öz

Temel hakların korunması AB’nin kimliğinin dayanağını oluşturmaktadır. Bununla beraber üye devletlerin kendi ulusal kimliklerini koruması Birlik anlaşmasının anayasa hukuku nitelikli hükümleri ve ulusal anayasa düzenlemeleri arasında farklılıklara yol açmaktadır. Temel hakların korunması Birliğin kimliğinin dayanağını oluşturması nedeniyle temel haklar söz konusu farklılıkların giderilmesinde önemli bir işleve sahiptir. AİHM’nin Soering kararından ve G.S.S. davasından esinlenen AB Adalet Divanı “Horizontal Solange” olarak isimlendirilen yeni bir yaklaşımla AB üyesi devletlerin diğer üye devletlerin temel hak ihlâllerinden sorumlu tutulmasını kabul etmiştir. Makale “Horizontal Solange” prensibine göre üye devletlerin birbirine karşı denetim yetkisi kullanma kriterelerine ve bu çerçevedeki gelişmelere ışık tutmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Temel haklar hiyerarşisi, AB Temel Haklar Şartı, AİHK, periferik temel haklar, merkezi temel haklar.
