Paragraph 47
 

Further, the new Article 93 par 4 simply states that “[t]he organization and procedures of courts shall be defined by the legislation”, which would a fortiori also apply to the organization of and procedures governing the Constitutional Chamber. In this context, it is noted that a majority of countries have established separate constitutional jurisdictions for constitutional reviews. Constitutional justice is generally considered to be a key component of a constitutional democracy. The Venice Commission has noted that while there is no general requirement to establish a constitutional court, the establishment of such an organ as a separate institution is generally recommended and has often proved to be a motor in implementing the rule of law in a given country.
