Suggestion for constitutional review of the Law on confirmation of North Atlantic Treaty and accompanying Protocol on accession of Greece and Turkey has no basis, Montenegrin Parliament concluded.
The Parliament adopted the Law on April 28th.
The suggestion for constitutional review is based on the claim that there was no majority needed for the adoption of the Law in the Parliament.
However, the Parliament responded saying that the conformation of international treaties does not require a majority cited in the Article 91 of the Constitution. What is needed is a majority of MPs in attendance at the session.
The suggestion for constitional rewview claims that these documents define actions of Montenegrin military in international forces. However, no international documents can be seen as laws in individual countries. Article 5 of the Treaty does not define actions of militaries internationally, but it directs towards national mechanisms of the member states.
The Parliament suggested to the Constitutional Court that the suggestion for constitutional review of this Law be rejected.
