d) other instruments of international law at international level? 
As has been mentioned, it is stated in Art. 15 (2) StGHG that rights that are quasi equivalent 
to those granted by the Constitution” are also granted by treaties such as 
* the International Covenant of 16 December 1966 on Economic, Social, and Cultural 
Rights (lit. b), 
* the International Convention of 21 December 1965 on the Elimination of All Forms of 
Racial Discrimination (lit. c), 
* the Convention of 18 December 1979 on the Elimination of all Forms of 
Discrimination against Women (lit. d), and 
* the Convention of 10 December 1984 against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or 
Degrading Treatment or Punishment (lit. e). 
There is only occasional practice of the State Court as to these treaties, namely concerning the 
ICERD and concerning the ICCPR.” 
3. Are there any provisions of constitutional law imposing a legal obligation on the 
constitutional court to consider decisions by European courts of justice? 
There is no explicit obligation. One should however mention Art. 34 of the Agreement 
between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of 
Justice”, according to which the EFTA Court will prepare opinions on the interpretation of 
the EEA Agreement. If such a question is submitted to a court of an EFTA state and if that 
court considers a decision on that question to be crucial for rendering its judgment, it may 
submit that question to the EFTA Court to prepare such an opinion. The fact alone that this is 
an "opinion" already shows that there is no mandatory obligation to take it into account,
