Abstract

Over the last few decades, the recourse by the courts to foreign law in constitutional interpretation has increased significantly in a number of countries. This entry explains when and how foreign law is used by courts in constitutional interpretation. Moreover, this entry proposes a classification of courts on the basis on the degree of openness towards foreign sources, as well as how these sources are specifically used.
