Constitutional law is the cornerstone of the Belgian rule of law and has a direct impact on the rights and freedoms of every citizen, business and institution.

What is constitutional law?

Constitutional law encompasses the rules and principles that ensure the operation of government and the rights of citizens. It not only defines how state institutions (such as the government, parliament, and judiciary) operate, but also protects the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, such as freedom of speech, privacy, and the right to due process. This makes it a crucial area of law that affects everyone from individuals to large corporations.

Legal problems in constitutional law

There are numerous legal problems that can arise within constitutional law, including:

• Government decisions that violate your rights: Are you facing government decisions that affect your rights? You have the right to challenge these decisions based on a violation of the Constitution or international human rights treaties (such as the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). whether it Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union).
• Conflicts between legislation and fundamental rights: Sometimes new legislation may conflict with your fundamental rights. This legislation can be challenged within a certain period of time at the Constitutional Court.
