(78)南非宪法法院清楚地认可了这点。该法庭承认比较法律方法的价值所在,但又多加了一句:“我们必须谨记在心,要我们解释的是南非宪法,不是某些外国的宪法或国际文书,我们要给予我们的司法体制、我们的历史、我们的社会环境、我们自己宪法的结构和语言以应有的尊重。”见The State v.T Makwanyane and M Mchunu,Case No.CCT/3/94(South Africa,6 June 1995)at 21。

(89)南非宪法第39节要求南非法庭(在裁决时)要考虑到国际法(条款)。在中东欧新民主国家中,许多新开创的或者重新修订过的宪法也将国际法容纳到国内法律之中。Vereschetin,“The Relationship between International Law and National Law,”40-41.澳大利亚最高法院大法官M.D.Kirby也说,在许多普通法国家,许多国内法庭也习以为常地援引自己国家所签署的国际条约作为法源。Kirby,“The Role of the Judge in Advancing Human Rights by Reference to International Human Rights Norms,”515. 但我们要看到,这些宪法中规定的要求并不是要国内法庭以外国法庭的裁决为准。国内法庭也能自己对相关国际条约进行解释。Kirby注意到,普通法法庭对国际条约的援引最近在政治上备受争议,但是“围绕着这些条约发展出来的判例正在日益增多”,这使得法官和律师很难忽视之。Kirby,“The Role of the Judge,”515.

(97)这个观点并不是毫无争议的。一些政治学家认为,尽管有些国家的政府对欧洲法院持反对意见,该国法院实际上却还是遵从着政府本来的意愿。这种说法的基础是,1959年,所有的欧共体成员国都同意经济融合符合它们的最大利益,它们也明白,需要一项机制来对彼此进行约束,使之遵守条约中规定的义务。因此它们建立了一个法院来使大家守信。见Garrett,“International Cooperation and Institutional Choice:The European Community’s Internal Market,”533;Garrett and Weingast,“Ideas,Interests and Institutions:Constructing the EC’s Internal Market,”173;Garrett,Kelemen,and Schuiz,“The European Court of Justice,National Governments,and Legal Integration in the European Union,”149。 这种说法忽略了欧共体成员国的明显意图,它们是想建立一个其裁决能够轻易被阻止或绕过的法院。这种说法同前面谈到的真实发生的历史之间有相当差距。对此问题的争论见Mattli and Slaughter,“Law and Politics in the European Union:A Reply to Garrett,”183;Garrett,“The Politics of Legal Integration in the European Union,”171。
