WELCOME to the homepage of the Constitutional Court of Hungary!

The establishment of a constitutional court was decided in 1989 at the final stage of the National Round Table Negotiations. The aim of founding such an institution was the defence of the new constitutional order and the protection of human rights under the Rule of Law. The Parliament passed the Act on the Constitutional Court on October 19, together with the amendment of the constitution. The first five justices of the Constitutional Court were elected by the Parliament on November 23. The Court commenced functioning on January 1, 1990.

We celebrated the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Court on November 23, 2009 by an international conference. The jubilee has offered a good occasion to renew our website that is the most important way to keep in touch with the citizens. The new website is more attractive in its appearance, more informative in its content, and more user-friendly. I hope the renewed homepage offers more information on the Court and on its decisions.
