Poland. The Venice Commission warns over the amendments to the Act on the Constitutional Tribunal

In the Opinion adopted on March 11th, 2016, on the amendments to the Act on the Constitutional Tribunal, the Venice Commission warned that the rule of law, democracy and human rights are in danger as long as Poland is embroiled in a constitutional crisis and the Constitutional Tribunal cannot perform its duties in an efficient manner. The Venice Commission therefore recommended to hold an open and inclusive debate on reforms, reflecting the principle of loyal cooperation among the public institutions.
