Abstract

The Spanish Constitutional Court has clearly proclaimed that it is within the powers of the Ordinary Judge the solution of compatibility problems concerning Laws and International Treaties, giving primacy to the laters (conventionality control). The said doctrine raises at least five main issues, which must be explored in order to serve of guidance for a correct exercise of the conventionality control by Judges, presided by highest respect for the Spanish rules governing the system of sources of law and the constitutional judicial system.
