Ieteikuma tiesību loma Eiropas Savienības tiesībās

The Role of Soft Law in the European Union Law

Kristīne Buholte, MBA, Mg. iur.

Summary
Soft law originates in the international public law and has been used in the European Union for a long time, however, the popularity of soft law has boomed within the last twenty years. On the one hand, soft law appears very clear – these are non-compulsory and non-binding law instruments, whereas on the other – it is a multidimensional legal phenomenon that can have a significant impact upon the legal systems of European Union and national levels. Despite their popularity, they are associated with a significant weakening of democracy, transparency, and the rule of law in the European Union.
