European law as an aspect of international relations

European law is a system of civil and private law, formed as a result of the cooperation of European countries. In general, it has its own history and origins in two systems - the Roman and British empires. I must say that it is considered an international tradition and is presented as a universal system. In general, all legal systems in the modern world, as a rule, are based on three basic principles: civil, general, religious law. However, the legal system of each country, first of all, is determined by its unique history and, accordingly, includes individual variations.

In our time, European law is interpreted in different ways. Speaking in a broad sense, the EP refers to the aggregate of legal relations in all spheres (politics, economics, science, culture, and so on) in Europe. Accordingly, in this case it is part of international law, that is, the law of all European countries (and Russia in particular).

Historically, European law was associated with Christianity, statehood, education, views on free trade and human rights. The works of medieval legal scholars were developed on the basis of the Roman civil law code, known as Corpus iuris civilis (or "Justinian Codification"). In medieval England, judges had more power than their counterparts on the continent, and developed a system of precedents.

Initially, European law was one common system in much of Europe, and for a long time it defined the positions of power. However, with the strengthening of nationalism in Scandinavian countries in the 17th century, and then during the French Revolution, general European law was divided into separate national systems. These changes led to the development of separate national codes, of which the Napoleonic Code, the German and the Swiss, had a great influence. Civil law included many ideas related to the Enlightenment.

Today, Europe is trying to speak in a universal legal language. The law of the European Union, which is understood in the narrow sense of the EP, is based on the codified code of laws set out in the International Treaty. They have a direct and indirect impact on the laws of all EU member states. The legislative body of the EU consists mainly of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. The law of the EU is applied by the courts of the Member States.

Sources of European law are the main, secondary and additional right. In the first case, the main source is the agreements on the establishment of the EU. In the second - legal documents on the basis of treaties, conventions and agreements. The EU Council may, in accordance with an international treaty, establish a secondary right to achieve the goal set forth in it. In the third - the laws of the Court of the European Union, the MP, the general principles of EU law .

The legal order created by the EU has become an integral part of politics and the life of society as a whole. Every year, based on EU treaties, thousands of decisions are made that affect the countries and lives of their citizens. Individuals are not only citizens of their country, city or district, they are EU citizens.
