The Constitutional Court can examine your complaint about a legal provision that violates your human rights.
This means that you can only complain about a legal provision if you believe that it violates your human rights because it is contrary to a higher legal provision or the Constitution.
If your application is accepted, the court can determine whether the legal provision you are complaining about violated your human rights. If the court concludes that there was a violation of your rights, it can declare that the legal provision has lost its force. The Court can decide whether the provision will no longer be in force from the day of the judgement onwards, or from an earlier date.
