Yesterday, on 12 October, on the third day of the experience-sharing project, employees of the Legal Service of the Ukrainian Constitutional Court could study in-depth the methodology for reviewing restrictions on a person’s fundamental rights, used by the Constitutional Court. Following the independent work of the project participants, Kristaps Tamužs, the project expert and Advisor to the Constitutional Court, gave a lecture in a webinar format, providing information also on the interpretation of the norms of the Satversme, in particular, in their interconnection with the European and international law.
