Short Considerations
On Existing Legal Orders
Prof. univ. dr. h.c. Ion M. Anghel
Lector. univ. Ion Necsulescu
Abstract: The discussion on the relationship between domestic law and international law is
well known - with the two theories: dualism (concept that has as its starting point the unity
of both legal orders according to the principle of subordination - with the priority of domestic
law, respectively international law) and monism (according to which international law and
domestic law are equal, independent, and separate). Each of these theories has merits and
generates criticism at the same time. But the interest in this problem is not limited to a
theoretical discussion, it also involves practical consequences - how it is possible that in the
geographical space of a state only rules that do not belong to it are applied. If the law is the
work of the state which, by virtue of its sovereignty, legislates for the entire space over which
it exercises its jurisdiction, and this constitutes the internal legal order, instead treaties and
other rules that apply to relations between states are based on the agreement between the
respective states and they represent the international legal order.
Keywords: dualism; international legal order; sovereignty
Este bine cunoscuta discutia cu privire la raportul dintre dreptul intern si
Dreptul international - cu cele doua teorii: dualismul (conceptie care are ca
punct de plecarea unitatea ambelor ordini juridice dupa principiul de
subordonare - cu prioritatea dreptului intern, respectiv a dreptului
international) si monismul (potrivit caruia Dreptul international si dreptul
intern sunt egale, independente si separate). Fiecare dintre aceste teorii are
merite si genereaza critici, in acelasi timpi.
Dar interesul pentru aceasta problema nu se limiteaza la o discutie teoretica,
ci implica si consecinte de ordin practic - cum este posibil ca in spatiul
geografic al unui stat sa se aplice doar reguli care nu-i apartin.
