The constitutions of the countries from the Western Balkans express the same principle in a slightly different way when it comes to the relationship between international law, which guarantees basic freedoms and rights, and domestic law. It is the principle according to which those states, although sovereign, accept that the realization of human rights is not only an internal matter of each sovereign state, but that it is a joint matter of the international community. The acceptance of this principle is an expression of the desire of all states to be an equal part of the international community, among other things, by accepting this principle, which is characteristic of the entire democratic world.
